A great place to stay for the night with large rooms! We have traveled thru this area multiple times in the last 5 years and never remotely thought about staying the night here but it was perfect for us this year! Checking in later than normal to be up on our way early so no breakfast wasnt a problem for us - McDonalds nearby was a huge plus for our granddaughters.

The room with the refrigerator and microwave had no lightbulb in the socket or a complete surround. The rooms have very thin walls, the stairs to the upper levels are very narrow and steep, unsafe.

Surprised about the size of the room, it was very open. Very clean room with modern decor. Tub was the only thing not upgraded, but was fine.

Won't be back

1. Broken security features on the door. 2. Could dead bolt the door but it would not close all the way. 3. Closet dowel missing. Had no place to hang out clothes. 4. The beds are like a rocks, so uncomfortable. 5. Room next to us had their window opened, smoked pot repeatedly both days we stayed. The ac units pulled that air into our room.

Driving across states and needing just to sleep and brush your teeth, this place will do for the price. Traveling with our dog we were happy they allowed pets. Rooms are not carpeted a plus. Some sort of illicit activities going on next door was unsettling. Nothing for food within walking distance.

The property was extremely basic as suited the price. The check in was the easiest ever without a lot of paperwork or hassle. The room was very simply furnished. It was not the kind of place you would want to hang out for a while. There were several restaurants within a few minutes drive, but none within a reasonable walk. The people we met were pleasant, but the town seems quite mediocre.

Good place to rest up

Good clean room, quiet area, responsive management nothing to complain about. Our south facing room had a nice view of the nearby mountains, ended up staying a second night to avoid a high wind situation around Las Vegas

Tear the Place Down

This motel should be torn down and replaced. It has not been maintained. It wouldn't pass a safety inspection by the State. The floor is weak and flimsy, hot water doesn't work, bed is terrible, spider webs in the window, refrigerator didn't work and much more.
