A convenient location
We were only using the motel for a one night stay but it was good for the purpose. The motel is located a little away from the main road so it was quiet and an easy stroll to the main street of town where there were choices for an evening meal

The property is in desperate need of a reburishment. The carpet was stained and gave the room an overall feel of being dirty. Definitely not worth the money. And although the guy at check in was polite and the cleaners probably do a good job with what they have, we will never stay here again.
