Gentleman at checkin was nice. Room was spacious, i had a microwave, fridge and even a kitchen type sink. Bed was ok, not soft like fancy hotels but I wasn't expecting that for the price I paid :) I was comfortable for the night. Parking was right outside my door. Drop box for keys for easy checkout.

Pass on this one

Room was dark and dingy. In desperate need of upgrades. Chair was dirty. Sheets had stains on them. Comforter had a hole on the top of it. Air conditioner was duct taped together. Overall dumpy.

Clearly this property is a shelter over flow which does not bother me however it would have been nice to be informed ahead of time. The room was clean but there was not enough towels for the amount of beds.

Don’t stay here, poor quality motel

Room was extremely dirty. There was hair in the bed, the table was covered in sand like people had their shoes all over it. When I complained to the front desk, they were unimpressed. They refused to refund after just checking in so we had no choice to stay at this dirty motel. They also refused to offer any sort of discount. Overall, poor service, poor accommodation and poor ability to properly clean rooms in between customers. Don’t stay at this place, there’s many other hotels in the area!
