It was a good stay and very convenient location. Staff was super friendly and everything was super clean. Only complaint; the bed was super hard like board hard which caused not the greatest sleep.

I had car issues while in town for a concert. They gave me a 2hr delayed check out time in order to get my car back from mechanic. Staff was friendly and compassionate.

Good cheap motel

The room had a 70's retro vibe, which was weird, but it was clean. The bathroom was updated and modern with a large walk-in shower. There was a little fridge and microwave in the room and one chair. The bed was a king-size and pretty comfortable. The motel is the kind where you drive to the door of your room so my truck was right there. Don't let the waiting room, which did have a couple vending machines, scare you away.
