"On a Sunday night when all decent hotels were around $400 per night, I found this motel with only $150, hoping for a decent bed. Surprisingly the room was large, bed and pillows very good. Very clean, Bathroom had a tub, nice towels and all you need for shower. Good coffee in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly."
