Rooms were clean and will taken care of. The outside of the building. Could use some updating. For the price, well worth staying there

Room had been remodeled inside, had pretty decor. The tub had issues draining, was very slow. The duvet was just a thin coverlet, but the staff gave us heavier blankets that helped. For economy lodging, and at the price point we paid, it was a very fair deal and comfortable. I would stay there again.

We were very pleased with the accommodations. We only needed to stay one night and the room was very clean. I didn’t mind the lack of amenities like Shampoo, hair dryer etc. etc. it’s what keeps the cost down. The staff was friendly, also. That means a lot. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff were very helpful and friendly! We slept well, which is hard for me to say sometimes with a bad back. The rooms were clean and everything worked. Luckily for us they even had a washer and dryer on the premises that guests could use, that came in handy when my son's shoes got soaked in a rain storm. They were an answer to our prayers! We had gone to and called so many places that were booked; I had all but given up and was ready to sleep in the car but my son was too scared so we prayed and kept looking. This was the next place we found, and when the lady said she had a room we were so relieved! We only planned on staying one night in the area but when we found out we needed to stay two we went right back and stayed here again! You couldn't ask for better people! Great experiences both times!

Very affordable and straightforward! The building is well lit and the desk clerk has easy access to the streaming security camera footage which makes it feel secure. Rooms are very simple and clean!!! Paint is chipping in bathroom walls doors and tub but not a big deal. The desk clerk called after we got to our rooms to make sure we did not need anything

We booked a room two days before our stay and honestly? We weren't expecting much. But we were very pleasantly, shockingly surprised at how nice this place was. The service was very good and staff was super friendly. It's a motel so don't expect the Marriot or Ritz, but a slightly sketchy outside did not speak true to the room interiors. Our room was clean, well kept, wonderfully air conditioned, and had some of the best water pressure I've seen from a hotel-- not just motel. I'm not sure if the other reviews are from old management, but we had nothing but good experiences. My only complaint is that there were burn holes in our non-smoking room and a kinda sketchy open network WiFi (thank you hotspot)- but honestly what else do you expect from a motel? This experience was good, cheap, and a relief after previous bad hotel experiences. Thank you to management! We had a good stay with an easy drive to the zoo nearby.

I had a decent time. They have tractor trailer parking. There's a laundry matt, Lowe's food, huddle house near by. Room was clean especially for a smoking room. I only saw 5 small roaches at different times while I was here. I didn't see any bed bugs trust me I look hard a few times. The rooms appear as they were just renovated. Staff is excellent .
