Clean and Comfortable
Everything was clean and working correctly. Budget hotels sometimes skimp on cleaning and maintenance, but this place looks like the staff really care about the property.

Budget Friendly and Clean
Recently updated bathrooms, clean rooms. Breakfast looked generous, but I only had coffee. A budget motel, but in good shape and well maintained.

The Greenlight Inn was remarkable! I had a king single room and had the best sleep in a long time. The mattress was firm, but the fopper was soft so it was a nice balance of comfort.

All the pictures showed suits. So, be careful what you buy. We ended up staying in the inn and not suits.
Bed and bedding seemed worn out. Pool was freezing cold.
Breakfast was really good and check-in and out was very easy and very quick.

From the outside, it looks way worse than it is.
We were traveling through and I picked this hotel/inn because the reviews were good. But, when you first pull up, you might be scared off by the outside appearance and the pipeline workers or whatever they are hanging around and apparently stay here for a week when in the area. But, once you get inside, and get past that, you find a ean and well managed hotel and these workers are great guys. Don't be scared off by this older hotel and the no-name brand, these non-corporate owners take good care of it.
The staff is great and the rooms are clean. The breakfast is mediocre (at best) but there is a McDonalds next door if needed.
