I really don't understand all these terrible revieems. maybe we just got lucky, but everything in our room as clean and stocked everything worked as it should. not a 5 star hotel, but for 50 bucks this was a decent stay and free breakfast homie. people at the front desk were not rude at all, would definitly stay again

Directions took us to the back gate, room wasn't bad, but we could clearly hear the people above us talking. The seam in the ceiling seems to have provided that. Shower was great, but the ceiling and vent could use some TLC.

Friendly staff. Affordable comfortable stay. Near to many restaurants and mainly very close to the highway. If your traveling with your family or friends and looking a place for the night this is a best option

Nice hot shower, a comfortable bed, a fine cable TV, and plenty of parking. Locked lobby at night for the security. The motel reception was cordial. This is a seedy motel, but it is safe to stay for a night. The affordable cost - 55 dollars a night (2024)

I found a sack of weed really cheap and the hookers are fresh and cheap too. The management ask no questions and I found a bag of crack behind the toilet!
