Property was very clean and safe but the location was remote and right next to the highway. Not a big deal but there is no way to walk to anything.

This room was clean and the staff was nice but the room was way over priced, bathroom door didn't close and the only amenities was the coffee in the room. For the price of the room they should provide a good breakfast. Again over priced for what you get. We are at a Best Western as of this writing for less of a price and they serve a hot breakfast in the morning, also a much bigger and comfortable room.

The outside looks like a shady motel but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern looking the rooms are. Beds are comfortable. Rooms have nice refrigerators with a mini freezer. For the price it was a great value.

Better than expected

We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!
