Enjoyed our stay!! Staff was very friendly! However, the jet tub stopper came off as soon as we tried the tub and looked very dirty behind the stopper. So we didn’t use it. That was disappointing. Other wise everything else was good.

Super clean and large room. Quiet enough for anyone. Only a bit of trouble getting the tv to work, and front staff unable to find remote batteries... fixed quickly when maintainace guy showed up. Yay maintainace guy. Maybe should be a bit cheaper as it's a motel and on the wrong side of gasoline alley, but I would recommend.

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.

The room was average at best, the walls are paper thin and the neibor room was up partying all night, and when I complained she literally never said a word to me. We also had unwrapped coffee and water cups and one of the coffee cups was used.

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.
