For a quick in and out, this older motel was fine. The bed was comfy, the air worked, they provided coffee and continental breakfast. The desk clerks were courteous and offered extra towels.

It was quiet and staff friendly and helpful.
The room was missing a lightbulb and no spoons available for breakfast or in the breakfast area and no one around to ask for one.

Hotel clerk was dirty and horrible body odor, Lobby was dirty and cluttered. Would definitely not eat a continental breakfast there and didn’t see any breakfast set out anyway. Pillows were nasty and discolored. Hairs on bedding appeared to be from a dog , some appeared to be like eyelashes.
