This was a really cute motel. I was very leery after reading bad reviews (still not sure how they'd get any) The room was clean, bed was comfortable. We used the outdoor "patio" area and watched a football game. We stayed here because it was close to the Mark Ridleys comedy club. The employees were very nice. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
