The beds were horrible, like sleeping on a flat air mattress. Needed paint because it was an old smoking room. The shower plumbing was opposite, the door was horribly bent. In the morning @ 7am coffee was ready but @ 7:40am it was gone. A major downer.

We have stayed here many time and it has turned better. New owners have remodeled and have turned this motel to the best turn for the buck...clean, quiet and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more!

Hotel is old. Cleaning is very surface level. Bathroom floor dirty in the corners, etc. crumbs on comforter on one bed and what appeared to be a dirty comforter on the other.
Only one younger lady running the show when we arrived. She was very polite and accommodating.
You get what you pay for. But I would not pay more than $60/night here. Regardless time of year.
