Everything was good. Clean and comfortable. Nice and friendly staff. Liked that you couldn’t hear outside noise. Bathroom could use some upgrades on the extras like the toilet paper holder. But overall was worth it. This is our second time staying here.

The motel has an older vibe, with smaller rooms and a compact layout. We spent most of our time out and about and only needed the room for sleeping, showering, and getting ready. If we had needed to spend more time in the room, it would have felt too cramped for us. On the plus side, the room included a refrigerator and microwave, and they offered a continental breakfast.gerator and microwave, and they offered a continental breakfast.

Property was clean, quick check in but they took $150 which is fine but was told up to 15 days for refund. Room was next to street so freeway noise was bad , next door noise was bad. You can hear everything. I would stay again for the night but not long term

Wonderful deal for the price. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable, staff were helpful, the hotel was one black away from centrally located highway. Would highly recommend this place for the price.
