It's cheap, and while lacking most of the amenities you get from higher price places it does the job well. Staff was very friendly too.

The motel is so bright and clean now!! It's been a number of years since I've stayed here and the transformation with the new owners is astounding!! The young lady at the reception desk was wonderful and friendly. Decided to add another night and requested to stay in the same room.

I travel often but I have never been treated with such respect as I was during this stay at this motel. If I could give 10 stars I would!! Due to physical reasons I needed a fan. Not only did the staff try to get the room cooler but also retrieved a fan with no charge. They truly care about their customers. Great job!!

I guess you do get what you pay for. It’s a decent hotel—clean rooms, friendly staff, the price is right. I was, however, at least expecting a coffee pot in the room or lobby, some shampoo, and a blow dryer. In the middle of the night, the 75-degree “heat” switched to 66-degree “cool”, and I woke up freezing. Probably won’t stay again, especially since “no breakfast” meant I had to stop and pay for breakfast and coffee on the road, which made it not as economically prudent.

Clean and basic … just what was needed (a place to sleep and shower). Right now the main office/breakfast area is being renovated (pool also closed) so there is no breakfast (which is perhaps why the price was so affordable). Also, this place is literally walkable from the airport!

Have stayed here several times when visiting Snake Road in the Shawnee. It's always clean, and we've never had any problems. The microwave and refrigerator are a plus. Parking is easy, and check-in and check-out are easy.

It is now over 72 hours since checking out of the motel and my deposit of $100 still has not been returned to my account and is overdrawing my checking account. And no way to talk to someone about it. Totally unacceptable!
