Noisy. A major 4 way intersection close by where it seems like every racer boy has to take off so everyone can here them. Noise from room above easily passed through our ceiling. Sounded like someone herding elephants up there. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and area surrounding the motel was clean and safe.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the room and the comfort of the bed! This isn't a fancy Motel but was quite sufficient. Don't expect a continental breakfast or coffee.They offer big refrigerator and microwave.

I showed up very late but they had a doorbell to ring. I rang it. No one showed. I didn’t get checked in and had to sleep in my car. I would like a refund. Check in limit times should be on the website
