The bed was comfortable. The hotel was a little run down. The ottoman in my room was disgustingly dirty!

Would stay here again
This was a very nice motel. The furniture was a little dated, but the bed was great and they had a very good breakfast.

Check in was very smooth. We arrived after midnight and had to ring a bell but the night clerk was quick to get us checked in. You can tell the property is older and could use a little facelift but it was clean. The king mattress we had was very firm, not my style. The pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. Sausage links, eggs, potatoes, waffles and hot and cold cereals. There were also some bread choices. Overall I’d stay again if passing through.

The carpet needs replaced since it looked like they moved furniture and left a 6 inch hole/run in the carpet. The air was damp and it wasn’t humid outside either. After hanging up my clothes and going out for the evening, we came back to our clothes feeling cold and damp. The free “breakfast” was a joke. The eggs and sausage links were microwaved, the fresh fruit consisted of 4 apples and 3 Cutie oranges. The best thing I can say is the orange juice was wonderful. The very best thing of the hotel was the bed. The mattress would have been strapped to the hood of my car if I could have gotten it out the window LOL

Budget Friendly For A Reason
The hotel had no elevator, the rooms smelled musty, but were surprisingly pretty clean. The beds were just okay. The hotel itself was dated and worn. Decent location with plenty of didning options.
