The beds in this place are really uncomfortable. I would rather sleep on the floor. I tried sleeping here for an hour and then got up and left for another hotel. This place is way overpriced for the quality.

Very clean, well maintained, improve the shower!!
Remarkably well maintained old motel. The staff member was cordial and helpful, the location was safe. The bed was thin but in good shape. They really should install hand-held showers. I am 6'1" and there was no way I could keep the shower being directed in my face. It would be horrible for a shorter person.

You get what you pay for to a certain extent. This was a serviceable low-end motel with old bones that showed through everywhere. It lacked the many conveniences one takes for granted at standard hotels. Ice is only available in the office, which is closed 11 pm - 9 am, and it's a small ice machine so if someone fills up their chest before you then you are out of luck. Similarly coffee is only available after staff arrives at 9 am. However, the staff person was friendly.

Super nice young man checked me in and was very considerate of the fact that I was very tired and went out of his way to give me a room downstairs without someone in the room above me. Very considerate!
