The property is quiet. There is a gas station, 711 and taco shop across tbe street. This is a comfortable motel if you need somewhere to rest and DONT want partying and loud noise to disturb you.

Only if you have to

This hotel needs huge upgrades. There was wet drywall behind the toilet that looked like it was molding, the ceiling tiles had stains, the baseboards were black and grimy, and I killed two cockroaches. On another note, the staff was very helpful, responsive, and pleasant.
