The rooms are horrible. The shower is the size of a locker at best. Beds and pillows are so uncomfortable.

Functional
It’s super cute on the outside. The room was cheap and it was functional (for sleeping and showering, not enjoying) and that’s about it. If you get back to your room too late at night, you might not get a parking spot. There are some people who might have extended stays at the hotel… And you might not want to have your room next to theirs because they stand outside smoking cigarettes and they keep their TV really loud. Just saying. But if you don’t need any luxury in your life, then this motel is for you!

Location to access highways very good with the exception always having to go south to leave and enter from the north. Room service was non-existing. Nothing but microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator; no utensils. Great water pressure and temperature. Free parking and right in front of room.
