Being honest. I didn’t feel safe, and didn’t sleep well. Trucks drove by all night too.

It was clean for the most part..it’s a very old motel and could use a serious overhaul other then several coats of paint..but I stayed there primarily for work, so it fit the price.
Always a good value for the price when we stay here. Faucets and floors a little worn and broken but still working, heater works well, and we were decently comfortable. Never any signs of bugs at all
A nice and affordable place to stay! It’s always a blessing to find somewhere budget-friendly while traveling. The staff was friendly, the rooms were spacious, and the AC worked perfectly. I’ll definitely stay here again!
Nothing glamorous, but clean and practical for a very good price. Heater worked well, TV worked, mini fridge and microwave worked. We would definitely recommend it for cheap lodgings.
Hey great value the bed was extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and we all know it is not a super expensive hotel so keep it all in perspective.

Friendly environment and pet friendly. A little ran down, I pulled the sheets back and found a stain so I moved to second bed. Bathtub curtain only had three rings and was grimy so I decided not to shower. I'm a marine and not bougie by any means, but this place could use some TLC

It was better than camping, is all I can say. And it’s cheap, so. But there were only two wall outlets- one by the fridge across the room and one behind the bed that I could only find by moving the mattress. And the way the bed frame and the headboard are placed, only my tiny lady hands could reach it. A man would have to crawl under the bed. Not ideal when you have a CPAP to plug in. Also, I don’t even think it’s to code; there’s supposed to be an outlet on each wall.

Old and funky but you can't beat the price. Laid over two nights on my way west. Saved more than enough money to get a tank of gas across the street at Love's

This is an old hotel and shows its age. However, it was clean, in pretty good repair, smelled fresh, and had hot water. We got there late and left early. It did the job.
