Cheap, clean, and basic

Price was excellent. Bed was comfy. Shower was hot. Internet was good. Hotel was quite. Pretty much bare-bones. No coffee. Hotel is older and could use some upgrades. But overall, for the price paid, I was happy.

Very good for a good price

This is based on its price point. I just want a clean room and it was. It has a fridge and microwave. It was quiet and I slept well. Shower had good pressure and was got. There was a smell when we got there but was not noticeable after we were there for a bit. So if you have a sensitive smell, maybe not for you but I would stay again. I recommend it.

This motel is an excellent bargain for tavelers, especially business travelers. The rooms were super-clean and the staff is really kind. The bed was comfortable, the room was well-lit, the appliances & TV were in excellent condition, and the A/C-heat unit was well maintained. Best of all, the rooms were very quiet when it came to noise from neighbors. I hardly heard a thing! The bathroom and some cosmetic fixtures are a little dated, but that is minor and doesn't take away from the overall comfort of the bed and room. The reason I downgraded the area around the property to average is because this motel does not have a comfy greenspace for kids that I saw, and there are not a lot of family amenities. But if those are not family needs, it is still a nice place for families. And if you are a light sleeper such as I am, the occasional sound of a truck might be either soothing or alarming, so bring ear plugs to be safe. Overall, this motel is a wonderful bargain, especially for business travelers and adult travelers. I am definitely going to stay here again!

Friendly desk service. Sheets were irritating to my skin. I don't know if it was too much bleach? The bathroom toilet would not flush and gurgling noise bubbling noise. We had to shut bathroom door and turn the fan on high to drowned out the noisy toilet. We just needed a place to crash after driving so far. But they were a very nice couple running the desk and were right there after 10 pm to put us up for the night Best price in town!
