Better than expected
Much better than expected. Nice large walk-in shower and new bathroom. Clean remodel done with quality. Comfortable mattress larger of mini refrigerator with separate freezer. Beside the narrow layout of the structure n parking lot of an old school motel extra parking in the rear.

The property was dirty, tweakers everywhere. There was a dirty syringe on the ground my dog almost stepped on it. Told the owner and he dis nothing about it. Didn't even try and pic it up. Stayed there sll hole trip. Room was also very dirty. We had to do are own cleaning to feel comfortable. Will never say at this location or recommend to anyone

10/10 Exceptional

I recommend staying here for short stays or trying to budget, It was clean for the most part though the bathroom floor was a bit dirty/dusty but nothing major. The wifi was a bit slow at times but overall this was definitely a great deal and I would stay here again for the price. If you're looking for something cheap but worth the money I would stay here it was a nice stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice job on the remodeling...looks great! Thank you for a great stay and customer service.
Vianey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The motel was quiet and clean and safe. The room was a little overpriced, pretty small for 2 beds but good enough. The expedia page says "Coffee and tea in common areas". There was no coffee, and the common area was locked. No one was there when I checked out at 8:30 AM and needed to ask about my deposit. That doesn't qualify as a "24-hour front desk". Also, there was no mention about a $50 deposit other than a handwritten note taped to the glass which I didn't notice until after the card had been authorized.
Nathanael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's was a good experience and glad to find out deposit was a lot less than what it said online but was a nice short stay nothing to complain about

This place was spectacular. The staff here from management to maintenance were absolutely fantastic. It was very clean, being rebuilt, and more important it is pet friendly. I will look forward to my next stay…

Hassan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The place was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness is what I wasn’t happy about, the floors, walls, and bathroom were dirty. If the cleanliness was better I would have given it a good rating.
