The rooms are decent for a local hotel. But I don't like that i have already killed 3 roaches since i have been here and I just got here last night.

The room was nice. I appreciated the hard flooring, employees were very accommodating and so helpful and kind. I was always greeted with a friendly smile. This Motel has the best price in town, I would stay again and again. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant.
