The room and bathroom were clean and well kept. Beds and bedding, as well as the towels, we're clean and comfortable. For an older motel, I was impressed by it's upkeep and room amenities. Price was excellent.

Very pleasantly surprised, this roadside motel is a real gem. Spotless and well maintained, our room looked recently renovated. The bed was comfy. Did need more blankets because they don't use comforters on the beds. A/C in room worked great. The bathroom was SO CLEAN! Highly recommend for the price point.

I didn’t realize there was no room service so our towels weren’t replaced, which is too bad, but maybe I didn’t read enough to know that. Over all it was just fine.

The hot water was not hot, which affected the soaking in Jacuzzi. I had to have the key card fixed a number of times. It was the 3rd night that the front desk told me about the card couldn't be close to my cell phone.

The inside of the room was clean, an older vibe, a beautiful, soft (not too soft) bed, and a large room. Does not have a couch or table like the pictures. For the price, it was great When we checked in, we had an issue with the key, but the front desk was amazing and helped get a new room, and he did all the walking back and forth.

The room was very clean, but the smell of old cigarettes permeated the whole room! There were visible yellow condensation marks on the bathroom ceiling. The furnishings in the room were old, but ok The noise levels were truly awful. I've stayed in other budget hotels on the Gasoline Alley, and this is by far the worst.

The dog friendly rooms are not ideal, it is cheap for a reason. But the staff working the front desk was amazing and friendly and completely understood why we did not want to stay the night.
