"Comfortable and clean; this is a good place. Things don't necessarily work like new but they do work. My only issue was the faint mildew scent on opening the room but after airing it a bit my nose got used to it quickly"
"Only stay at this very nice small town motel (in the summer) if you arrive at early to late afternoon. We arrived at 9 pm and the room was 90-95 degrees inside with the window open. It wasn’t until 4 am that the room was finally below 72 degrees and we could sleep. The AC did not have a high mode. Only low."
