Standard roadside motel, reasonably comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the excellent ice machine on the very hot day we were there. Playground is probably ready to be torn down, seemed a bit unsafe.

This property was good for the price. It was dated, so some things weren't perfect, like the air conditioner was a bit loud, the bathroom could use new caulking in places and the carpet is getting tired. But, it was pretty clean and did the trick for a few, unplanned nights in a hotel. (we were supposed to go camping.)
