Nothing fancy about this motel at all but overall clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating . The reason I am given a poor rating has nothing to do with the staff it is because this motel is used as a shelter for addicts and homeless . I would have liked to have known this information prior to booking .

The hotel is showing it's age. The room was clean and comfortable. Couldn't figure out the remote for the TV or the room heater controls. Drain was slow in the bathroom sink. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. The room exceeded our initial expectations.

The night desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The hotel is suffering from humidity and water issues. Our room had a musty smell and a water leak in the bathroom affecting the drywall. Tha A/C unit was noisy and showing it's age...but it worked! The carpet was old and had an oder. The bed sheets and covers were clean and smelled clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable, which was delightful.
