Excellent choice for a budget hotel, clean and quiet. The room/furniture was a little beat up, and the wifi didn't work for half the night but those are minor for me. This is exactly what I was looking for.

This motel puts many motels to shame in my opinion. My stay was quiet and comfortable. The room was one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever seen! The room has a mini-fridge, microwave, and cable television with HBO included. The vibe is very retro and brings back good memories of the late ‘90s. The grounds are clean. The only “issue” I had was a total non-issue but worth noting. To activate the shower, you need to pull the end of the spout downward. All in all, I’d stay again!

Upon entering our room, the bed was made with fresh sheets, but, the bed sheet that was folded down by the pillows had huge stains on them that appeared to clearly be bodily fluids and was disgusting. I am shocked that they would have left it like that as it was evident as soon as we walked up to the bed. The hotel clerk immediately changed our room after seeing the picture I showed him the picture of the stain. The other issue was that the units had these really old in-wall heaters that were really noisy and dried out the room so much that we both woke up with sore throats. I don't think we will be staying there again.

Stayed because it was the cheapest motel in the area. With at least a 7 customer rating. The staff was nice and helpful. It was in a convenient location. Off the interstate. Close to food and services. However, it was a run down old motel. With furniture that hadn't been updated since the 70's. Stains on the walls and carpet. The heater turned on and off every five minutes. And sounded like a jet engine. The two over stuffed chairs. Were of a dark material. And I was afraid to sit in them. All this, I could deal with. But on my third night. I woke up to bed bugs biting me. The one unforgivable sin. When it comes to motels. This happened at 2:00am. I stayed up after that. And left at 5:00am never to return.

I stayed here with my 2 daughters and young son for the night. It did the job, the fridge, microwave, tv and air conditioner all seemed to be new which was awesome. I think my only complate was that the carpet, although vacuumed nicely was truely filthy...my son (who refuses to wear socks or shoes) walked around barefoot and his feet were black by the end of the night. Just being picky too because there was an extra blanket and bed cover available but there was only a sheet and a bed cover and by I woke up freezing in the middle of the night. Other than that, everything was fantastic

Manager is friendly and the property is clean. For the price I think its a good deal, close to the highway so good for a quick stop. Its a motel off the highway, it checks the boxes you'd assume a hotel off the highway would check. I will note the walls are a bit thin. So any loud neighbors could be a problem.

I checked in and 10 mins later had to check out due to the fact that our show got canceled, the front desk guy didnt even like talk to me just took my key from me, it was just very odd, I didn’t even get to ask about a refund and I get it it’s a hotel but like don’t be weird and just take the key no conversation. I would have atleast liked to ask if I could get a refund and I would have accepted if he said he couldn’t. Just not very friendly service. The motel looks like it’s from the 70s and the bed was horrible the 5 mins I sat on it, it was all springs.

Place was dirty, had pet hair floor, a maintenance worker walked into my room while I was in the bathroom without knocking. Walls, are thin, looks like a lot of homeless people live there. There was a lot of banging and stomping over my head. The stove in the room was broken. Internet connection is very unreliable goes out often and went out for about eight hours while I was there.

I cannot say that it is the best place that you can stay. The room was clean. The mattresses were comfortable. The pillows were the greatest. But this is a basic room. It had a microwave and a refrigerator freezer. It also had cable TV. It is an older hotel. There were no other amenities. No coffee in the morning at the office. And there was no coffee maker in the room. I did expect a little bit more for the price that we paid per night. So if you’re looking for a room just to sleep that’s about what you will get.
