Price was super. Room was very plain, but it was clean, and had a good TV, AC, and fridge. The walls were stark white, not the greatest color. Would stay there again.

Listen, this is a 65 dollar a night motel. If you want all the perks by all means go stay at a 200 dollar a night motel. It was clean, the frig, microwave, TV, AC, heat, coffee maker, ice maker , shower and all the lights worked. And most of all the hot tub was great. I stay here every year for a week in April. Go stay.

Very cute motel. Quiet and clean. Walls seem thin as we acquired a neighbor about 1130pm who sounded like he was coming through the walls but I'm sure he was just settling in. Heard the same thing by 730a. Our particular king room (nice bed and nicely decorated room)smelled of urinal cakes and baby powder. Off putting to me, but we were happy with our stay.

Everything was wonderful, except that we noticed there were no outside trash cans for disposing of pet excrement, and that would be nice to have in the future.

Room was clean and had everything we needed. Although the nights were cold we stayed nice and warm in our room. Walls are pretty thin you could hear the neighbor talking on the phone and the person on the other end talking back. The last night we were there the neighbor on the other side had their TV on the whole night. Other than that I enjoyed the stay here and have stayed here a few times in the past.

The site claims that the front desk is "open," yet there is no one on site and you must call the number provided at the front desk to access your room. I admittedly arrived earlier than the check in time, and was told that our room wasn't ready yet, but that I would be able to access it within 2 hours. I sat outside the front desk and waited for 2 hours, literally watching the housekeeper access other rooms while she was working. Not once did she enter our room. When I was finally able to access the room after waiting for 2 hours within 100 feet of the room, the room had already been cleaned and was ready. I was lied to. When I asked why I wasn't provided the accurate information, I was given an excuse that the communication wasn't accurate. Ridiculous.

Check in was a breeze. The staff was great - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was what I expected and what I wanted - a clean place to shower and sleep on a longer journey. I would definitely stay here again.
