The property is located on the main road with heavy truck passing by and causing the ground shaking. Feels like an earthquakes. Apart from that our stay was acceptable.

We booked the motel based on the pictures due to our place not having space for us until Saturday. The pictures did NOT match the facilities. Inside is not bad but the couches are not moved evident of the dust bunnies beneath them. And due to us needing 4 beds and there were only 3 we had to utilize the sleeper couch. The bathroom is small and in the middle of the room, not like the pictures and the lawn chairs are on concrete. There is also no place for children to go play outside. Not a bad place but not one i would recommend for people travelling with small children. (Also dont go on the pictures)

Tired, but comfy and budget friendly
This is a slightly tired and dated motel, but for the price paid we cannot complain. The “spa tub” bath has seen better days , and we would not have wanted to sit in it, but for showering it was acceptable. We slept very well as the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

We had trouble with the hand basin it was blocked and dirty, and the hot water was not hot enough to have a shower. The heater only had one setting it got very hot so you had to turn it off, then back on when you got cold.
