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

It could use updates but you get what you pay for. It was clean, everything worked, staff was friendly
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!

The room was clean and the A/C was working well. There is no pet area but my dog and I were able to manage things.
The place was absolutely filthy. No keys to the room. Master key only. I was told I would have to contact the front desk to go in and out my room. The room was dirty. The mattress was terrible. There was only one towel. The place needs to be burned down. False advertising. The place is pathetic. I want a refund.
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.

It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the hist was very attentive and kind. The cooler was very efficient but loud.
You get what you pay for and this place is the pits.

Awesome for when I needed a motel on short notice and it was cheap so I appreciate that a lot. Dirty but a few towels were clean, unopened cups, and hand soap. TV, microwave, fridge, hot water, and cozy beds. Better than I expected!
