This is the first time and last we stay at this motel. The rooms are very outdated and the carpet smells. As soon as, you walk in it smells stale as if it’s been a closed up room. If you want a good night sleep don’t stay here. The walls and ceiling are so thin that you can hear the other guests flush the toilet. We stayed on the 2nd floor and you can hear other guests talk and hear them walking and running on the floor above you. For the price we paid we expected more. They have no cable and their doors are so outdated and feel insecure.

Great older hotel to stay on a budget, not remodeled but safe and quiet for the most part, we stayed right across from the main office, everyone is friendly and approachable as far as staff. No food options other than fresh coffee and pastries in the morning here and a vending machine as well. Beds were comfy.
