It is good place, if you are looking for a stay, for a night or two,if you are passing by. Not luxurious but decent. Not sure about the area around. Room was neat and clean, good parking spots. Only thing it needs a new bath tub. Paint in bath tub was peeling. That the reason I would rate 4 out of 5.

Rooms looked clean and smell was good. Unfortunately the bed sheets on both beds were full of crumbs and dark hairs. We ended up sleeping on top of the duvets. Didn’t notice until midnight and office was closed. Very easy to hear talking in nearby rooms. Price was cheap and now I know why. Management seemed unconcerned at checkout.

The area was a bit sketchy, but I never felt unsafe. I was woken up several time during the 3 nights with sirens- which I know they couldn't do anything about. We didn't always have hot water. Which after being at a festival all day sweating and hair full of dust was irritating. The bathtub had been painted and was peeling. The room was clean, bedding and floors clean. Owners were very friendly and pleasant. Would stay again.

Overall very nice stay. Could use some minor cleaning. Ice machine is in an inconvenient spot. The neighborhoods close to the hotel look pretty rough. For the price it was a very good stay.

Bed was comfortable. In general, the room was very nice & clean, but the tub had a lot of rust spots & there were a lot of little pieces of napkins & trash, etc.on the grass areas and in the parking lot. I would stay there again, but would like them to fix the tub and clean up debris outside.

We didn't like how clean the bed was, then my wife notices something sticking out under the bed. So we slide the bed to the side and there was filthiness all under the bed. Told management and they gave us another room and the same filthiness under that bed. Send a straw and plastic bag someone had use to do drugs. The man who probably own it came and send it and said he was so sorry. He open another room and said please stay. My wife slide that bed to the side and filthy to. I have photos. They need to shut that motel down and really clean under the beds and a good cleaning to all of the rooms. The rooms are remodeled. It is just the nastiness and it ain't acceptable

The front desk agent was nice upon check in then after advising him of the initial room we checked into conditions, he began to be rude. There was hair and cobwebs everywhere and the towels were dirty. There was food behind the bed as well ass food stains on the floor.
