We were there for an overnight and it was very nice. The area was very clean and maintained, nothing fancy, just a nice quiet place to stay overnight and at a budget point we could afford.

Typical dated motel
If you are passing thru and need a cheap motel this is sufficient. Would not recommend staying more than a night. Room is small. Bikers seem to favor this place as lots were staying here.

Clean, basic and great value.
The motel had been updated, and is basic but cute. It was very clean and the price was great. The staff we ran into were friendly. This is a very basic, older place. It was quiet, and clean. The office had coffee in the morning. It wasn't open all the time, but check in and out was easy.
