This hotel is exactly what you are paying for, no frills. Room was clean, bed was comfortable but this is not a high end hotel. If you are looking for a place to lay your head and aren’t picky this is a great spot. Central location to lots of attractions but there are a lot of homeless and you will be in the flight path of the local airport. I am not picky and high maintenance, this is a great little spot and would definitely stay there again.

Parking was easy and room was fine for what we needed. Bathroom was small and not very well built. Complementary breakfast left a lot to be desired, and coffee was definitely not very good. Overall, it served it's purpose and that is all we needed.

You’re the most part the hotel was fine. The bed was super uncomfortable and you had to pay to stay there not just the room you had to pay to park there to stay there. Also there was a long hair that belonged to somebody else in the shower in Plainview.
