Outside of the building is nice. Staff was super nice and helpful. Room was nice but needed some paint. Bathroom was OK.. tiny bottle of shampoo, only toilet paper was what was already on roll. Quiet, good location. No coffee pot in room. There was a fridge and microwave.what will stay again.
It's an older facility that does show it's age here and there....the chairs & table are a little loose and there's cigarette brown marks on the bath counter...but overall our room is very nice!
It's clean and comfortable and my wife can walk barefoot on the carpet without feeling like she needs to leave her shoes on!
Our bathroom was spotless and appears to be updated.
The price is right and it's pet friendly so we give it 5 stars! We've even booked a room for next week!
Wonderful motel for a cheap price. No deposit, breakfast in the morning, staff is friendly and kind. I enjoyed my stay. Close to lots of restaurants, stores, gas stations, etc. rooms spotless, fresh clean towels everyday. This was very convenient for me to do get to the areas I was working in. It's quiet and peaceful there.
Best place we've been able to stay, so so clean!!! The room smelled like roses. The beds, the a/c, showers etc clean! And such great friendly service right from the start. Good price while dealing with an evacuation.
Nice location, within walking distance to pizza store and several hundred yards to all major stores and restaurants. I looked at other big names travel sites and they rated this hotel as terrible. We took a chance and found completely opposite. Very clean and quiet with friendly staff. Breakfast was limited but we only needed coffee anyway. Rooms are very big with average shower head. The bad was someone parked a car right in front of our room but that is hard to avoid. Towels were limited but we had no problems getting more when asked for. This hotel deserve much better reputation and we will definitely stay again. Can't beat $65 a night while all other asks way more.
The rooms are a little outdated but for the cost of it you cannot beat this hotel. They are clean. No bugs. The Indian lady at the front is slightly gruff (which is a cultural thing) but not rude in the least. I highly enjoyed our stay and will stay again.
The room was nice. Breakfast wasn't much. Coffee needed to be updated by 8:45 am. However, the room was fine which is what we wanted for the most part. I wasn't paying for indoor swimming pool, exercise equipment, etc that I didn't want or need.
Parking lot is well lit with camera monitoring. Side parking for moving truck/trailer,was etc. Room was clean, very quiet area, easy check in and out process. No hidden fees, room and tax. Small deposit if you pay cash.
