Although this is an older property the room was very comfortable and I slept well. It was quiet which is a plus for me! The hot water was better than any “newer@ place I have ever stayed! I did not check out the breakfast area as I was meeting for breakfast with family in the area. The price was awesome! My only suggestion would be they add a better door locking system.
It's a really good room for the price. It's got everything you need for a really good stay.its also located in a nice area surrounded by restaurants groceries and gas stations.
I did not stay for the breakfast but I am sure it was fine. I had the most pleasant 4 night stay with the most comfortable bed and room! The hotel was FULL but I didn't hear a thing from anyone. Thank you!
Nice place. I hear the Mexican restaurant that’s attached is really good. Maybe next time.

Room was clean and very large. Furniture is outdated and worn but nothing too extreme. Bed was soft, probably a bit too soft. Breakfast was pretty non existent even though a waffle iron was there I never saw it turned on. Basically some cereal and toast. But for what you pay there isn't much to complain about. You have a good clean and safe room. I would stay here again.

This is a modest motel with much to be modest about, but certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. Although the furniture in the room was a bit eclectic, everything was clean and functional. Check in was quick and efficient. The attached Mexican restaurant seems to have quite a local following. Several other dining options and some shopping is all within walking distance.

Okay.
Clean and comfortable. Property is in rough condition. Poor parking lot. Bed too soft.
I very much loved the beds and pillows, they were so comfortable! Room was clean and spacious. I liked the fridge and microwave also. The front desk was super friendly, I just felt bad having to ring the bell. I thought I might be disrupting family or personal time. The outdoor side doors did not lock which concerned me slightly since anyone could enter, but I felt safe enough with deadbolt locked. Overall pleasant stay.

It’s not the worst
They definitely need new mattresses-as they are a bit saggy. They mop the bathroom floor dirt into the corners, and the vacuuming was ok. The breakfast was better than I expected as there were make your own waffles. Otherwise, some fruit, cold cereal, coffee, toast, and yogurt. Overall, I have stayed in worse, I’d stay here again if I had to.
