Room was clean and good. The weather was raining, so satellite TV didn’t work. Parking lot has some large pot holes. Breakfast was little Debbie danish and coffee.

It was a very basic room. Air conditioner work on high only. Towels were old and dirty. Parking lot was a mess. All in all. It served our purpose for a one night sleep. But get breakfast somewhere else.

The owner was very friendly and gave us good directions to the honor band concert. Nothing fancy but very comfortable. The towels and sheets were bright white and smelled fresh.

The manager and her husband are sweet and very helpful. The room is solid with a very comfortable bed, a fridge and a microwave. Good deal for the very good price.

One of the best places we've stayed during the past 6 months of traveling the country. Now, it really depends on which building you stay in. We couldn't stay in the south building at all due to some water damage, but the staff was very kind despite our complaint and promptly put us in the north building in a lovely retro room. Completely quiet, large, comfortable and everything worked great. Actually incredibly rare features for cheaper places, about 100 hotels and none of them had all of those features. The only thing about this place is the north building didn't have outside doors to the room. Would probably stay longer next time.

Very nice motel and very friendly. Not fancy but for the money it is perfect for someone just looking for a place to sleep. Fridge and microwave but no shampoo, conditioner, personal amenities. Also could use a few chairs in front for guests to sit outside. It was actually perfect for me and what I needed.

I used to love the place. However it's very run down and the carpet is filthy. The parking lot has huge ruts/holes again showing no maintainence. The beds must be 50 years old.$49 is too much.
