Hotel was clean and okay for a one night stay.
The stay was okay. The breakfast could have been better. The only hot food was the self made waffles.

The room itself was just a regular motel room. Clean and comfortable. The young lady working the desk was really sweet. I appreciated how friendly and relatable she was--even when we didn't get there until almost 2:00 a.m. Definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

Nice Enough Motel
This place is nice for a roadside motel. It seems that the interior has been updated. Nice staff, everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. I don't know about the neighborhood but I didn't walk anywhere. It's basic but fine.

Hotel is clean and convenient but worn. No comfortable chairs in room, but small table with two wooden chairs. Noise from busy street and could hear voices from next door room. Keep in mind….get what you pay for.

Not what we expected.
Very noisy street close by, it sounded like a race strip. Stayed 4 nights, no maid service which we were told when we checked in. Someone or an animal threw up on Friday second level walkway in front of a room entrance and it was still there when we left on Monday. Maids cleaning rooms that had been vacated should have seen and reported this. The trash dumpster gate was left open during day and it made area look trashy. Small parking lot. Ironing board needed a new cover, it kept pulling away from board when trying to iron. Check in person was very friendly. It is a motel.
