Older building, tired but kept up pretty well. The carpets and drapes along with furniture in good conditions. Less square footage, but it does cost less than most in the area. Good water pressure but the design lends itself to hearing your neighbors wheather in thext room or standing on the balcony smoking/socializing.

It's a 2star hotel; you aren't stopping here for the holiday, but just for passing through. On that point, the room is clean, everything worked. The location is close to the highway and food. A river runs behind the motel and there are picnic tables which is a bonus. I will say you could tell that underneath the rug, the floor was broken/damaged/lumpy in a few spots, so points off for that.

Check in was fast and easy with friendly front desk staff. The room was not as clean as I would like. There was food residue on the counter top and the tub looked dirty. It was quite noisy at 1 AM with other travelers checking in (not the hotel's fault). Parking was very close to room.
