This is an older motel with entrance from the outside. The area isn’t lighted well. The rooms and breakfast area have been remodeled and are in good condition. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It quiet during our stay.
Bettye, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is not a typical Best Western property as you enter your room for exterior doors. Lobby was small but adequate. Check in was fast and the attendant was pleasant and kind. Room was subpar and had a musty/previously smoked in smell. The bedding and towels were clean but the overall cleanliness of the floors and behind the nightstand needed attention. It was midnight when we checked in so we did not address the issue of the odor. Would not stay here again.
Cady, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay

If you're passing through and need a safe, comfortable, clean place to stay, at a reasonable price, this is a great option. The staff were nice and helpful.
