"Location was the best thing about this motel. The motel was definitely in need of renovations and updating. Once checking in, we were told that it was going to be completely renovated over the winter. Staff was very helpful and friendly. There was no Dailey Maid service. I didn’t mind having to take my own trash out. Beds and pillow were actually very comfortable to me."
