Room and property were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast wasn’t great, especially the coffee as it was very weak, even on the ‘strong’ setting. It is right next to a train track, but there were only a couple trains so it wasn’t too bad. Overall good stay, especially for the price.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Property was very quiet and clean on the outside. You would think it would be kind of rough considering the area and all the gas stations around it but it was pretty nice and secluded! As a solo traveler I will definitely be back. Also the pricing was amazing.

For a Wyndham hotel we were expecting a bit more. If you're looking for a basic motel to stay in, this will do. A bit older and some areas of the room were falling apart. The room did what we needed, felt somewhat safe leaving our vehicle in the parking lot. Cool plant on the office ceiling and friendly staff.
