Your typical motel stay it was just a room to stay in. The shower faucet was leaky but whatever. The staff were nice and friendly. But overall it’s a motel 6 stay nothing much to hope for it did its job.

Hardee's is across the street, bed is comfortable (my husband has back and neck issues), owners are friendly and accommodate our needs weekly and the room is always clean and ready for us. We stay two nights a week regularly due to my husband's work location. It's my understanding this motel used to have issues, but I've seen none in the two months we've stayed there. We will continue to stay here when in this area for work.

We found way to many bugs but when a cockroach comes crawling across the bathroom walls all you wanna do is leave. Staff said they had a service come in every other week but with the look of the rooms I doubt that. I wish I could get a refund on that room. Waste of time and money and I won't be staying at this motel again.
