The property welcomed pets, it was cool in the room, but the heat worked. The room was clean, but the property itself needed cosmetic work. I would stay there again.

We arrived around 3:10 pm at the motel. Very disappointed. Bathroom was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Bathtub was stained and terribly dirty. Nothing good on the TV, so we watched a movie on our iPhone in bed. I can’t stress enough how filthy the bathroom was. Will not be returning.

Great place for a quick stay

We booked last minute and got a safe, smoke-free, clean room. Our tv didn't work, but we were tired and ready for bed so it wasn't a problem. The price was right and the staff was friendly. We'd stay again. Thank you!

This property is in very poor condition. There are several people staying in rooms over the occupancy allowances. Men are hanging outside at night at all hours of the night. The pictures for the property do not reflect the very poor conditions this property is actually in. I will never stay here again.

A Very Good Rate

There was no one at check-in, but it was quick when she came. The room was nice and clean, but the bathtub was very dirty.Very quiet. AC worked great on a hot day. It was a very good rate.
