This is an older Motel. The lobby was clean and our room was warm and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. There was a bathtub with lots of hot water. The room also had a coffee machine and coffee. There was also a microwave and fridge that we did not use. TV and Wifi worked well. Breakfast was more then expected. Great restaurant across the highway. We would stay here again.
