Everything was great! Loved the staff. Rooms are clean. Definitely would recommend. Centrally located. Plenty of parking. Honesty, I've stayed here several times and keep coming back because I haven't found anything I dislike. I even had to do laundry once and dreaded it knowing another hotel I stayed at was $3.50 a load. And their laundry room was scary and dirty.(so I veto'd) But i went to check out this places and it was locked/secured and clean. And it was only $1.00 a load. Can't say enough good things actually. And usually I HATE motels!

No amenities except hot coffee at entrance. No breakfast. Room gets cleaned every three days so no fresh cups and trash fills up fast. But you can put in a request for service. Front desk service was very nice.

When we booked the room payment was declined and then used another payment and the site resereved two rooms so i was charged for a no show fee on a room i had no idea was reserved. Booking through hotels only now. And hotel was not accommodating of the issue got there money. For the room toulet seat broken and problems flushing. If you stay more than a day they will not empty your garbage. Fan noisy and parr of the switch not working.
