Property was taken care from the outside needs repairs from the inside. Understanding that being a motel and that’s why is cheap. But wouldn’t mind paying 100-120 if being well taken care from the inside. Unfortunately for cheap prices it attracts guest that don’t take care of it. But that’s a motel. Thanks, I would still stay.

The room was filthy, The broken toilet lever was replaced with a plastic bag. There was no soap or shampoo. There were spider webs around the toilet bowl. The toilet paper holder was broken but fortunately there was a roll on the toilet tank. The floor was sticky. There was nobody to contact at 9 p.m. That pretty much sums it up.

Spartan, airy, sunny, clean room. The owner is very friendly and grows hot peppers in a garden by the office. Very charming and friendly guy. New renovations need a soap dish in the shower and trim on the recessed lights. Room could use a detail dusting on the trim -- otherwise a very clean room.
