It was comfortable enough if you have a small budget. The problems were the ants, and the bathroom and towels were not properly cleaned. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciate the refrigerator and microwave in the room. I wish it was closer to restaurants or stores for snacks. I was hungry!

stay away, not worth it

Arrived an hour past check in start time and check in still took 20 minutes. The front desk rep left to check the room for 5-10 minutes. Upon entering, the room REEKED of bleach. We aired it out for a few minutes only to find the bleach smell was masking a mildew smell. I tried to use the toilet but the seat was wet (unsure with what). It was so awful and hurt to breathe in the room that we checked out within a half hour. Absolutely horrible. What’s worse is they wanted to charge me for another night ($120) to cancel! Scummy place and policies. Do not recommend even if you're on a budget crunch - look for a healthy and clean plan.

Surprisingly nice

Surprisingly clean, comfy, and quiet for a motel within spitting distance of an interstate off ramp. Nicely located with access to food venues. Including a dispensary directly out front, if you’re into that sort of thing.
