A1 Motel

Towels old but they clean rooms almost everyday. Bunch of lizards and bugs so keep door close, McDonald's and gas station walking distance. Chinese restaurant across which is good. They do laundry for 30 dlls a bag which is good if your working. Price good overall good stay.

Very basic room, pretty clean and reasonable for the price ($45/night). All rooms are smoking rooms, which I didn't particularly care for, being that there was some residual smoke odor from the last tenant(s). Cigarette burn marks on the bed liner, sheets and bedspread (which looked around 20 years old) were undesirable, but the room was not repulsive - the carpet didn't stink and the bathroom was clean. If cheap accommodations with bare-boned amenities are what you're looking for, it's not a bad place.

6/22: reasonable room for reasonable price.. $80/ngt. All rooms are NONsmoking now. Stayed here several times for work.. Convenient store and laundry matt across street... a few restaurants close by.. only negative thing I have is cell ph reception absolutely sucks inside rooms. Very nice people run the place.

Beds are comfortable and clean but the bed frame is light weight and you can move the bed around.

Pete, his wife Sammy, and two daughters are to me the backbone of what gives our country greatness, credibility, and future viability. To me, they represent the epitome of what built this country in generations past. Now that annual income and nam
