While the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room appeared clean, upon opening the dresser, there were roaches in every drawer. Went to the ice machine and there was the smell of urine. Needless to say i didn't get any ice.

About what you would expect from one of these older motels. Our room was clean, the shower was strong and hot, and the location was close enough to Skyline Drive. Good for a night or two.
