I really liked that the hotel was next to a grocery store. It was so convenient and made my stay cheaper than it would have been because I was just able to pop in and buy something to eat from the store.

The absolute best value on a rental room that I've seen in years. Basic, clean, spacious and we'll appointed. No front desk staff was no problem at all. Instead it was simpler and easier. Will absolutely stay here again.

This is my "stay at" place for fishing trips. Good beds, great pillows. Quiet. It does not pretend to be a 5 star hotel. Good location. Good rate. Great people!

Value is right for this small motel. Room was basic but clean. Management responded promptly to text messages. Located right at the intersection of highways 160 and 149, so it is very noisy even at night with sound of passing trucks.

Nice, big room. Good value. We had a dog and found the dog walk area lacking- mostly from lazy owners too lazy to clean up even though baggies are provided. The other side of that is, it appeared the motel staff hadn’t cleaned up in quite a while either. Another negative was the apartment over our room had dogs that ran and jumped around the apartment until midnight and started again early morning- too loud to sleep.

Room was nicely appointed, and looks more modern inside than the outside Travelodge. Air conditioner makes a bit of noise, but was nice to have on the warm days. Microwave, refrigerator, and a large closet-like room next to the bathroom allowed us to stow our luggage in there away from the bedroom area. Although a hands-off hotel, they responded quickly to my text messages and were attentive to my requests. My only complaint is that the garbage needed attention the entire week we were there. It needed emptying. I did bring it to their attention twice. Conveniently located, and the Mexican restaurant next door was good, even though it doesn’t look like much. We’d stay there again.
