This was not a happy place. It's quiet until the sun goes down, then the night
crawlers come out. The walls are paper thin, the loud noises outside never end till the sun comes up. If it's rest you seek, this is not the place to get it.
The room was clean. One sheet had a small tear. Things appear either worn or newly updated. It was much quieter than anticipated and on a Saturday night. I was surprised about the $100 refundable deposit. Overall, a good place to rest.

Management and ownership are doing a good job of keeping this property clean and safe.
Family run motel. The family was very nice. Definitely an older building. They have done some remodeling inside the rooms without changing the layout. Very old buildings, bathrooms and stairs. On a very busy road that is loud all night long.
Overall it's been a nice stay. The area is a little shady feeling. On my walk back from the bus I had someone try to stop me to ask for drugs.
The property is clean and looks presentable. My room wasn't quite ready when I showed up at 4pm. The man behind the check in desk was kind enough to run and check on my room as well. It only took about 5 more minutes before I was able to get to my room.
was super loud between the car parked right in front of our door and the people above us dropping stuff at 3:30 in the morning, hardly got sleep. when we checked in they gave us the key and had to walk us out to see if the room was clean and we waited outside for them to find a clean room. beds were horrible and uncomfortable. bathroom was moldy
I was worried about the location, but the room was clean, comfortable, and sufficient for my needs, and the staff was kind and respectful. It was a good place for me
Cheap hotel locks are updated with scan technology. Wouldn't recommend staying alone or late atnite sketchy area carpet a bit dirty big room with mini fridge!
