Room was clean and pet friendly. The bed head board was squeaky and really uncomfortable.
When I went out around 11pm there were drug addicts going to rooms in the building. I immediately did not feel safe. I would never stay here again.

For an older motel style Inn the conditions were awesome. The beds were comfy. The rooms clean. The kitchenette had what we needed and the TV had channels. We were in town for a sporting event and it was what we needed for the weekend.
