We were very pleased with our stay at Empire Motel. The room was extremely clean, and was equipped with everything we needed. Plus they have daily housekeeping , which is not common for motels. Used towels were replaced and garbage was emptied each day. Estelle (owner) was so friendly and always available. We would definitely stay here again!
