There were business' close by, but we checked in late and out at check out time. No, real time to check out shops. Parking was fine, someone had our parking spot, but someone else probably had theirs.
This is an older property and I assumed privately owned, so there were areas of obvious repairs. As with most of these units at any such motel, the repairman doesn't seem to take much pride in the looks of their work.
This tends to make the rooms less clean looking than they really are. We felt it was clean enough for what it was. We are on a fixed income,so I try to pick the most reasonably priced rooms without getting dumps. I have picked out a few of those in our travels, pictures don't tell the whole truth.
It's a no frills place. If you want the lap of luxury then keep on drivin' and pay out the big bucks! But, if you just need to catch a few Z's and Tv it's fine.
