Liked: Staff & service
The place is inexpensive and you get what you pay for. The beds are ok, but they are on metal frames that sometimes make a weird noise when you sit on them. We had TV issues and the staff attended to our problem quickly. The staff was great with anything we asked for, but their English wasn’t the best. The breakfast was good, but the dining area is small. It’s an older motel and there are a lot of signs of improvements. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was great. We stayed two nights and got great nights of rest.

Other than needing an update, it was very clean inside and relatively quiet (one persons car alarm kept going off in the restaurant behind the lodge). I really enjoyed and will be staying again.
