Not the Best. Not the Worst
Stayed 2 nights. I chose this hotel bc I had 2 dogs with me. It's right beside McDonald's and across the street from a Starbuck's. No frills motel. Room had a fridge and microwave. The beds were clean and semi-comfortable. You can tell the mattresses are old but it's not the worst bed I've slept in. The bathtub was dirty. There were cigarette burns all along the tub. It was quite and parking was good. I didn't try the breakfast. Overall it was affordable.

This property was the worst Place I’ve stayed. The towels and linens were dingy. They didn’t give you enough towels or tissue. The bathrooms were very small and the floors were filthy. A lot of transient people lived there therefore safety is questionable . I was disappointed. Renovations need to be done.

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. We were looking for an inexpensive place to spend one night. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. We had a refrigerator, microwave and two chairs. The air conditioner worked great. Good water pressure in the shower. The bed was comfortable.
