We chose this motel because it had such a high rating. Maybe the other rooms are better but ours was dated and seriously run down. It so needs a make over. Staff were friendly and it was clean but no amount of cleanliness can make up for aged and worn chattels.

The property is located on the main road with heavy truck passing by and causing the ground shaking. Feels like an earthquakes. Apart from that our stay was acceptable.
