Works well for me!
All I need in a hotel/motel stay is quiet, clean, friendly and a comfortable bed. This establishment checked all the boxes and I will happily stay there again.
Excellent value!
There’s a lot of long term inhabitants. It was very noisy and definitely not the cleanest.

The shower in our room didn’t work and there were no employees around to even tell someone about it. The bed seemed clean enough but everything else was kind of sketchy looking. The employees are always either no where to be found or standing outside smoking, but they were at least a little friendly.

I read a lot the negative reviews and was a bit nervous about staying here…but it really was pretty nice. Everything was tidy and clean and basic as we needed it for an overnight stay. The bed was comfy and we slept well. I’ve paid a lot more at other places that weren’t as nice.

Close to places to eat and close to the interstate. There was a problem with my room and the front desk person gave another room and I was very happy with that

We did not stay here. The property was run down and dirty looking. Outside, a number of people who appeared to be vagrants were standing around smoking. Inside more people were sitting around the lobby. It looked like a place for homeless and/or recovering addicts. Does not look at all as it appears on your site.

Lobby area was nice. The side door to go outside was propped open. There was a card slide device but don't know if it actually worked.

This is a tired, old property that isn't worth the low price. There are better choices across the street.

The only difficulty was a running toilet! Was taken care of. Service exemplary and courteous beyond belief!
I'm a bit of a clean freak and found notably nothing dirty plus, beautiful room, sparkling clean bathroom, microwave, mini fridge, three mirrors and quiet.☺️

We didn't check on because of the people around and inthe parking area, they looked like they were doing drugs and looking into vehicles. We felt unsafe so much we left.

You get what you pay for. If you need to sleep a few hours while traveling, then this is perfect. Room had a musky smell, people hanging out in the parking lot drinking in a truck bed. Several other just hanging outside in chairs smoking

Sketchy Place
Parking lot was very sketchy. People that seemed to be up to no good in the middle of the night outside. Front desk attendant was nice, bed was ok. The A/C unit looked like it hadn't been cleaned (the vents) in a long, long time.
