Affordable
It was great for what I needed. A place to sleep and shower. Can’t complain about affordable and everyone was nice. This isn’t 5 start but that’s not what I was going for.

Room 234. Bathroom floor had loose tile with black mold. Bedroom had horrible creaking floor. AC worked for 20 minutes then stopped. Refrigerator shuddered loudly when it stopped. Pillows were good.

Great Location, Comfortable Room
I had a two-room suite with a separate living room with a sofa bed. This was quite comfortable for an extended stay. I really enjoyed the area and the motel has an excellent location.

You get what you pay for
For the price and location, not a terrible deal. However lobby area was run down and did not provide coffee or breakfast the majority of the days I stayed there. Bathroom faucet had rust and corrosion and carpet definitely did not seem sanitary. Would stay here again only if I had no alternative options.

Free breakfast wasn’t much. Only coffee, juice, oatmeal packets, green apple! Used to have frozen breakfast sandwich and granola bars!
The shower knob was so tight and couldn’t get the water from dripping after use!
No facial tissues in the bathroom.
