The staff was great and the room itself wasn’t bad at all. Except the heater was very very old and didn’t really work. But the outside the problem. There a front and back to this place one long single story motel. Front is ok but the speedbymbs will mess your car up should put better ones in .the back tho is long row of bushes and all inside are numbs just living there.and nobody cares . Overall ok place to stay. But lock your car and don’t leave your room unlocked
