Neither room we tried had plumbing options that were able to work with my wifes disability, but the front desk attendant was more than top notch with her assistance, even though we had to book with a different hotel. She is the reason the hotel gets two stars

Quiet, comfortable & clean
The staff was friendly. The room was clean & the bed was fairly comfortable. The place is a little run down, but you can tell they are trying to renovate it. It was a quiet weekend considering the motel is next to a busy expressway. The room felt a little damp for some reason.
Great stay room was comfortable bed and pillows too the people around you in the hotel are amazing both guest and staff choose here for your future stay
The property was ok. We ended up on an outside corridor from the pictures online which felt less secure. Jamie at the front desk was exceptional! He was very kind, thoughtful and accommodating. He was the highlight of the stay!
The staff here is absolutely amazing they are super nice and helpful the water is hot the water pressures good the bed and pillows are just right in my opinion

Liked: Staff & service
This property would have potential if they painted the rooms and replaced the stained chairs. The location was great, it was within a bus station.
It's looks nice in da inside and out but the staff at da front desk was rude and mean didn't like her attitude but other than dat me and my husband stay was excellent
