Great value for last minute stay. Great customer service.
The staff was friendly, attentive, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty. the prices are the lowest in the county. i will certainly be staying again.
I recently had the pleasure of staying here and I had a great time. The rooms are huge with good sized tvs, laminate flooring, and queen sized beds. It is obvious that they really care about their customers. The room has all the necessities, including a shower, a microwave, and a mini fridge. There is even a little area where you could set up a coffee maker if you travel with one as I do. It was a great stay at a great price. I will be back!

Tv didn’t work flipped light switch no light had to walk in to dark room and find the switch on the lamp heater didn’t work
I had a great stay. The rooms are really big, the beds are comfortable, and there was even a fridge and microwave for my use. The staff were friendly and very helpful. It was a great value for the price. I was surprised by how relaxing my stay was.
This motel is amazing! From the moment I first walked in, I was made to feel as if I was a cherished family member. They got me checked in quickly, made sure I had the wi-fi information and knew who to call if anything was wrong. I will definitely be staying again as the rooms were huge, clean, and comfortable.
Had a great stay, front desk was incredibly nice and helpful. Great room, spacious and clean with everything needed. Very convenient location. Would absolutely recommend! No negative experiences.
