I stayed here for two nights for a bike use in the area. There was plenty of parking and I was able to get a spot close to my room. The room was clean, but I wish there had been a warmer blanket on the bed as it was a little cold. The heater worked well, but is noisy. Overall, it was a good place to stay.

Old seedy motel, good management
It's clear this is an old motel, not built very well. The rooms are large and the TV is good, but the motel has seen better days and the walls are paper thin. My neighbor played his TV until midnight and I could every word being said.
On the plus side, the current owner is working hard to make the motel as good as possible, given what he has to work with.

Ride Central
The hotel was clean and efficient. The hot water at the bathroom sink was slow to warm up, really only made it to luke warm. The shower, however, was nice and hot!
The noise from the street, supposed to be expected. The room heater worked well. The managers addressed some shenanigans with other us quickly on Saturday night.
I hosted a group ride with start and end location at the hotel. The managers did not give a fuss with the riders coming in late evening.
