Place has no bed bugs.. People love to say that about this place, not sure why. I think it's people that have been kicked out for there own personal reasons. I also notice someone that gave the place a bad review doesn't get along with the owner for her own personal reasons nothing to do with the motel. The owner is very nice. Everyone that stays here is friendly and keeps to themselves. The Owner/manager has been redoing the rooms like new carpet and TVs... So it's on the up and up.

This place is very quiet and loud because there’s a lot of 18 wheels trucks going by n turnpike is closed by. It’s not expensive, but nice people around here.
