The hotel is a bit older, but combined with the location and price its a good deal. If you just need an economical hotel to sleep for the night it is a good place to rest.

Stay Away
The place is run down and filthy. Dog pooh caked on the floor. Door lock didn't function properly. For all the coming and going in the next room I'm guessing trade in contraband. Pity, since there was a screaming toddler in the room.
I left and went to another Motel.
Avoid this place at all costs.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Some furnishings were well-loved but comfortable and clean. The breakfast that is included is first-rate and delicious. The scrambled eggs were the best we'd ever had. Highly recommend this unassuming, but very well run facility.
