Tips for others: Samsung TV has HDMI ports hidden on the right side, I had to use a camera to confirm they existed and was able to plug in- switching sources requires pressing the button on the bottom middle of the TV. The shower worked great just set your temperature before you get in. Completely adequate motel experience- nice staff- functioning facilities and we had everything we needed. Beds comfy, mini fridge and microwave were fine. Thanks for the experience!
Nice place for the money. Everything in the room was new. Mini fridge microwave coffee maker. Walking distance to anything drug store, clothing all dining options. So its not a bad spot. For a good price️
Never stayed in a motor lodge before, was always a little skeptical but this place proved me wrong. Recently renovated, rooms were great, beds comfy! Everything you could need, great price and great location!
