This property was recently remodeled motel but it has not been completed. The toilet was clogged when we checked-in, it is located next to the highway and railroad track, it smells of nearby smokers and various unnamed odors. On the other hand, they offered breakfast and the customer service was great.

Breakfast was good. Ice available. Nice mini-fridge and microwave. Not too far from the city center (15 minutes) for dinner.

Liked the property, but the traffic congestion was worse than expected, but no fault of the motel.
