Was traveling and only needed the room for one night, so didn't have much interaction with staff but when I needed to, they were helpful. Room was clean, air was off upon arrival but cooled down pretty quick. Plenty of parking and seemd to be in a good location to get to anywhere you needed to be quick.
I liked that when we arrived the staff was very friendly and helpful. They accommodated us very well and if we had any questions they were happy to answer them. The room was clean, they are doing some remodeling and it's very nice for the price. I enjoyed my stay and will be staying again. I give overall rating 5 stars!

It was OK, no regrets for a short stay. As expected for a budget motel. Polite staff. Quick check-in and check-out. Clean and comfortable, good AC and heating, plenty of parking, felt safe.
Some TLC needed in some areas —- door frames badly need paint, bathroom caulking looks like it was done by a child, chipped bathtub, blanket had holes, no hangers, no shampoo.

A fine place to crash for the night but you get what you pay for. The rooms were not at all insulated and my neighbors were playing loud music until 3am. The bedspread was stained and had no top sheet (just a fitted sheet and fleece blanket+topper). Room smelled of cigarettes as well. Otherwise fine, easy check-in/out.
The room was very clean and cozy. The air conditioning was nice and cold. I like this location. I've stayed here twice and would recommend it for budget conscious travelers who need a nice place to stay.
Air conditioning was fair
Sketchy people in the parking lot
I stayed with my husband and we both did not feel that safe. I would not stay there as a single female
For the most part you get what you pay for. No issues no complaints

Wonderful experience!
Overall my stay was very nice and affordable but throughout my stay I did have a feeling that I may be stabbed at any second which all in all really made the experience everything it was. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot and have a great potentially life threatening experience!
I did not stay. I left. I did not feel safe in the area. Especially the room that had a sliding door that opened to the roof of the lobby. It was unlocked when I entered the room.
We had 2 rooms. My daughter sent me a picture of a bug she found running on the floor. It was a Greman roach!! They found 6 of these things in their room! The person running the desk acted like it was no big deal. Wouldn't give her a different room amd it was after 1 in the morning so trying to find a different hotel was impossible due to a concert and a convention on the area. Bare bones room, shower flooded the bathroom, 2 towels 2 washcloths no hairdryer in the rooms. Will not be back and highly suggest someone look into these issues.

The room was clean. There was a sign posted that they was remodeling the rooms. It was kinda bad. The craziest part was the desk clerk said it was a non smoking room. However an ash tray was in the room and the mattress smelled of old cigarette smoke. Outside of that it was quiet and comfortable.
The room has roaches all in the bathroom when I turned the lights and in the bedroom there was people all out side like they live there will never stay there again
Horrible little place! The app said it was a total of $55. When I clicked on it to book a room at the last minute, it was $96. Paint and ceiling peeling everywhere, floors outside were filthy, needs an absolutely major renovation…overall just an awful experience. And way overpriced!
