It was ok for the most part my only concern was that I couldn’t close my front window which led to me waking up in and out of sleep due to traffic late at night
Hookers walking the streets right outside, dirty room and bathroom, loud suspicious characters outside all night, lacking locks on door (barricaded with chair), would not recommend to any families
I stayed for the weekend to meet for the first time the love of my life. The owner went above and beyond for my partners emotional support K-9. Our room was clean everything functioned properly. Coffee served in the office. My stay was excellent and i would do it again.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. I like that the parking lot has cameras and the front desk has a screen to monitor them. One late morning my husband checked to see if there was coffee in the lobby but there wasn’t. He turned around to leave and the front desk person told him to wait, and he made him coffee. They care about service and it shows. The room was great and larger than most.

There was no soap or shampoo or cups for water - it was just a room with no amenities
The front desk man was nice and friendly. The room had no remote to tv he fixed it right away. The ice machine broke told other man working he looked at it shrugged his shoulders and walked away. There was a refrigerator in the room that got my beverage cold. The motel is old and needs upgrading. Pillows old, linen clean but worn. The light kept flickering on and off. Bathroom shower had hair and mold. No ice bucket no soap or toiletries. Prostitutes using rooms. Nope never again left early 0530. Just uncomfortable situation.
