Bare bones hotel
This was a bare bones hotel. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was Wi-Fi and a tv, and not much else. If all you want is a comfortable bed, then this is the place for you.

This an older property, but well maintained, clean and the staff were very good. Being a motel, parking is right outside of the room, which is great. Will certainly stay again.
