This was excellent for our one night stay. I was most impressed with the cleanliness. The room felt fresh even though it is an older motel. The bedding (crisp, clean) and towels ( thick, fluffy , fresh, clean) were wonderful! The pillows themselves could be updated. Our room was ready for occupation when we arrived a bit early. In spite of being on a main road, it was peaceful and quiet for our night’s sleep. We would suggest a new bath mat as ours didn’t grip the tub well and made exiting the tub/shower a bit precarious.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Honestly I’ve travelled a lot as a female by myself over the years and i’ve travelled many countries by myself and felt pretty comfortable and safe. This motel felt not so great. And the area also felt pretty sketchy. I don’t know what was happening in the night outside, but it seemed as though people were not doing well outside of the motel. There were lots and lots of sounds in the night. And I had gone for a walk in the evening to find dinner and found myself feeling a little bit unnerved walking in the area. It was a good price compared to everything else which is why I chose it, and I was incredibly grateful that there was a chain lock on the door because I did not feel comfortable. I don’t think I slept a wink. I didn’t want to spend $350 a night somewhere else but I think in the future, I probably would not stay there again even to save a couple hundred bucks.
