For what we needed, a place to sleep for an evening. Okay. I would not recommend this motel for more that 1 night.
Positives: The breakfast and staff was sufficient and friendly.
Negatives: Bath/shower, roaches, substandard structure in and outside.

The motel was in a run down, poor district of town. The stairs leading to the room were unstable and showed years of abuse [weather]. The room was small and smelled of unclean carpets and drapes; and of smoke. The receptionist was kind but was only standing in for the regular desk person. She did not know how to correct the charges to the room and we were given a single bed rather than 2 queen size beds.
Positives: The only thing I liked about it was that they were re-building and remodeling.
Negatives: There were just too many things to write down about the poor quality.
