The price of the room was reasonable and the room with King Bed was spacious and clean. I was disappointed with breakfast. I was expecting a full breakfast with various food options…Instead a “go bag” of 2 fruits, yogurt and cookie included. Ofelia, the desk clerk was friendly and helpful. I give her 5/5 stars. Almost missed the entrance since they were painting the building. TV not working properly. Some channels spoke Spanish even though English was the norm. I probably will not return to this motel

No housekeeping for the duration of my stay. I guess I would have to request it. It’s okay though because I only would have requested clean towels.

The property needs a lot of work and cleaning. It's quite noisy and it is attached to a gas station and small store. The room was average and not very clean. However, the people that worked there were very nice and helpful.

Cheap and easy, nothing fancy but it was roomy and clean. Don't be shocked that it is behind and seemly part of the gas station - Even the lobby is in the gas station food mart. They advertise a continental breakfast but it is a few snacks and a piece of fruit in a paper bag you pick up in the morning. But, cheap and safe place to get some rest in the area.

Very disappointed. This Hotel is in a gas station. Debris everywhere. Gas station traffic all night. I didn’t feel safe. Pictures attached. I had to cancel second stay. Very disappointed ! They said breakfast included. It’s items in a bag you pick up at the gas station.
