Visited this Motel in Feb 2013. What a great pleasure. Unit was absolutely wonderful. Everything supplied even to a fly spray. People in office very friendly.

Dinner within walking distance but even to... More

if your into the 1970's motel look and like like greek decor then this is the place for you. over all the place was basic and the manager was very friendly it was a good place to break up a long trip.

This motel was conveniently located for our holiday plans. The motel was in need of a face lift but was clean and tidy with all the ammenities you could hope for in a budget motel.
