Sadly, this motel has seen better days. It's in a rather frightful state of disrepair. Managers are nice people, but this just isn't up to even the lowest standards. Needs fundamental repairs and a refresh badly.

It looks a little rough on the outside, but the room is really comfortable. The bed is awesome, much better than you expect from a motel. Wifi works great. And the couple who run it are very sweet.

‘Vintage’ without trying too hard. No frills. Simple sleep and lodging. Loved the eclectic room furnishings and decor. This place is exactly what it looks like from the outside. A portal back to simpler times. Enjoy your stay.
