From the day we arrived to the day we departed everyone was nice and courteous with us. The rooms are clean and well set up. Parking is easy to get into and out.
Amazing staff . Christy is very nice as well as the rest of the staff ( I’m sorry I don’t remember anyone’s name ), the owner makes sure everything is in order , the area is great !
Clean, cozy, and comfortable. Could not find any restaurant nearby for breakfast.

It was ok for a business trip stay. Sketchy area. Police were there both days for disturbances. I wouldn’t recommend for families. I recommend El Charro Mexican restaurant just outside the parking area.
Staff is amazing , great location , old motel that has been maintained very well . Rooms were very clean, property is kept clean of debris exterior also . The Mexican restaurant next door , not so good , take the time and go down a block or two( same side of the road ) to the Mexican store / restaurant.
The parking area is well lit at night and felt our vehicle was safe. They have a large area for dogs, although they could use a dog station with poop bags. Fortunately we had our own. Also there is a lot of thistle in the grass and the dogs were hopping around when they stepped on them. Wouldn’t want small children running around barefoot!😊

Basic Hotel Room
Not fancy which is fine.
It was a good place to stay.
Quite area in town.
Would definitely go back.
Very pleasant staff. Beds are a thin mattress without a box spring, making it hard. Property appears to have been quality renovated recently. Very quiet, no traffic noise.
Units need some updating. No iron, no closet or rack to hang clothes, no blow dryer. We booked for 4 guests and only issued 2 sets of towels. Only coffee/tea is provided in lobby. Just very bare bones.
Area was peaceful. Staff very quick to bring us more towels.
Our room was so muggy that the carpet was damp. Could use some major updates. The hosts were friendly. Extremely overpriced but in line with the other motels on the area.

This place is a little off the beaten path but that does make it a pretty quiet location. It’s an old facility that looks like has gone through a couple eras of updating and is in the middle of some updating so there are elements that are definitely due for replacing but everything is clean and functional. If you just need a clean, safe, no-frills, affordable place to sleep and take a shower then this fits the bill.
This was actually a wonderful stay with a convenience store downstairs when you first check in so it’s reasonable for you to get snacks and stuff
They do have restaurants so if you do get hungry, you can get meals.
The owner of the property was very welcoming and made sure I was OK. The room services assistance came to check- in to see if everything was fine and made sure everything was replaced nicely. I really appreciate my stay and would come back again.

Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were clean but needed a serious refresh on equipment. Water pressure was not that great, but looking at the age of the property, wasn't really a surprise. Stayed on the bottom floor of a two-level and could hear the upstairs occupants stomping around. No real amenities aside from a mini fridge and microwave. One thing that disappointed me was my room did NOT have anywhere to hang my clothes. Customer service was excellent.
