Excellent customer service, clean rooms, easy check in God bless you! Jesus loves you. Heaven is a free gift. Sin separated us from God. God came as the God-Man Jesus so He can save us from our sins and have a relationship with us. Will you accept this gift?

The owners are helpful and friendly, the place was quiet, and your vehicle is visible from your room window. Older but clean motel, grocery store in walking distance and a dive bar next door...exactly what we were looking for.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was dirty with trash littering the walkways and parking area. The rooms were small with poor quality furnishings. I had reserved a king room but none was available. There were no suitable alternative rooms. The management refused to refund even a portion of my two day prepayment. Sleeping in the car would be preferable to staying at this motel.
