Check in and out were easy and quick. There was a lot of noise from the other rooms and guests at night but it was not too bothersome. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Bathroom had a weird set up with the sink facing a window and a mirror on the wall nearby. Great for the price and a quick stay for one night. The manager was lovely, welcoming and communicative throughout.

The place looked run down, at check in your have to ring the doorbell, and after several minutes a man came out looking like he just woke up. It was 6:30pm when we arrived.. I would not recommend to anyone.

Manish was right there to greet us as we drove up after 9pm ready to get us checked in. He got us a bucket of ice too. The room was very clean with lots of nice touches, including the much coveted complementary shower cap. 😊 Extra blankets are in the dresser. Beautiful walk-in shower, outlets at the base of the lamp, AC & heat at your fingertips.

Pretty affordable and not too bad. It was a little dirty from the previous people and the walls are pretty thin but the staff were nice and it wasn’t too bad of a stay. Would stay there again maybe.

Check-in process was quick and smooth, the front desk was welcoming. Rooms updated with laminate flooring and bathrooms were nice and modern. Appreciated the new a/c unit. Cons: walls were thin and you could hear neighbors, nice of motel to offer foam earplugs.

We found a bug crawling on the wall in the bathroom, but besides that, the room was very clean and the property was very presentable. The man at the front desk was extremely welcoming and friendly, would definitely recommend for a quick stay in town.

Room was given away, complimentary "upgrade" worse
Reserved a room with 2 queen beds a month in advance. When I checked in I was told they ran out of rooms with 2 queen beds and offered a "suite" with a king bed and couch with a pull out bed. The couch was actually a futon that could lay flat. The half that is usually sat on in futon mode had plenty of cushioning, but the other half that you normally lean your back on was hard. One side soft and one side hard, split right down the middle from head to toe. The pillow was in the drawer under the TV, had a stench and many stains on it. I opted not to use the dirty pillow, which meant my head is now resting on the cushion that people plant their butt on when sitting. I ended up having to ball up some of my clothes as a makeshift pillow.
