"This motel is 5 stars for what it is, which is an inexpensive place to stay for a night. We were in the area for a concert and just needed somewhere to sleep. The rooms are small and not fancy but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the check in process was quick and easy with on site parking which was easy to navigate. "
