Close to BSW Health Hospital
The place is right next to BSWHealth Hospital I stay to be closer to hospital while my husband was in hospital. The place has allot of work needed If your looking for cheap is worth the money One bed was made with new sheets one had been slept in & shower curtain so bad I can’t describe it bad … I stayed I was to tried to leave … it could be an awesome place with some work

Better and safer options in town…
Been a member of Hotels.com for many years and this is the first time we pulled into a hotel and could not stay at the property. The staff was helpful but the rooms smelled very bad and were not clean. There also were people milling around the parking lot looking into cars. We asked to cancel and left. The property owner would not refund our money and that is unfortunate but we did not want to stay in an unsafe environment with poor cleanliness. I don’t usually write poor reviews but hope this one helps others choose a different hotel along the road. Thanks to the evening staff person for trying to convince us to stay, she was very kind.

Okay stay
The motel is fairly run-down and there are no special amenities like breakfast, a pool, or room service. The pictures I saw online make it look really nice, but I was a little unsure at first when I got there and saw it. I even checked for two-way mirrors because I thought, “where did I bring my child to stay?!” I always bring my own pillow and I was glad I had because the two on my bed were really yellowed, lumpy, and stained. The fridge had a leak so the pizza box we put in it got soaked. The room had an odd smell that we never were ever able to place, and the lights didn’t turn on right away- there was like a three to five second delay. But. There were zero bugs of any kind, the shower had hot water, the AC worked, and the mattresses were comfortable and clean. The room itself was clean- no carpet so that was a plus. I think for the overall condition of the place and the room it was over-priced, but it was still cheaper than most places around.

The exterior could use updated paint, but the room was absolutely excellent, both in how it was laid out, the cleanliness, and care taken by staff. Everything was very positive during our stay.

6/10 Good

Stay was ok. The guy we checked in with was very nice, not sure his name. Older Motel, so it was relatively clean for what it is. The walls could use some attention. I would stay again if I needed a cheap place to stay on the south west side.

Just fine for a low price hotel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet. I’ve stayed here before and I’ll stay here again.

Good value. Pillow cases had hair on them, otherwise the room was clean. A little loud in the morning as people left for the day.

it was fine for two guys to stay overnight but i wouldn't stay there with my family had a couple strange encounters with others staying there

The property was a little hard to get to due to one way streets around the location. They also did not offer breakfast but did have a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The room was clean no smells no bugs.

Carl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. I really liked that the room had a microwave, fridge and coffee in the room. The ice machine was full and a great convenience. I was pleased with the shower. Ceiling fan was a plus. The towels were thin and small. The outside was a little scary, but ending up being safe.

Roaches. Small roaches everywhere.

Not recommended.
Not the worst motel that I have stayed in, but I would not be returning. My friend and I were accosted by a drunk long term resident as we were leaving our rooms. Woken at one a.m. by another guest hammering on my door claiming a medical emergency. She hammered on a number of doors. When spoken to by the manager (sworn at) she disappeared into the room next to mine, where I could hear her aguing with someone.
Andrew, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a place to sleep but hopefully it’s cheap.
I’ve never paid so much to stay in such a sketchy motel. Room was fine. Dead bugs but at least they were dead. Shower was terrible. Area was questionable but I didn’t have any issues. Will not return. When my friends picked me up they offered to just have me stay with them instead.
Brad, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very disappointing. Roaches in fridge and roach traps around the fridge. Bathroom and cigarette burns all on the wall. Have pictures.
