It was a good stay and very convenient location. Staff was super friendly and everything was super clean. Only complaint; the bed was super hard like board hard which caused not the greatest sleep.
A very nice motel. Small…however the rooms extremely comfortable, quiet and safe!! The motel reminds me of the vintage motels on Route 66!! My room was decorated wonderfully…very nostalgic!!
The only complaint is the big potholes while driving up to the motel. Staff were wonderful. Room was wonderful as well.

The location was great the guy behind the window at check in was a bit overly curious and the bed is an air mattress which was not very comfortable at all
The room was clean. No bedbugs or roaches.The surrounding area isn't the worst but it's not the best. My 4 day stay was nice though. I would book with them again.
I had car issues while in town for a concert. They gave me a 2hr delayed check out time in order to get my car back from mechanic. Staff was friendly and compassionate.
The room had a 70's retro vibe, which was weird, but it was clean. The bathroom was updated and modern with a large walk-in shower. There was a little fridge and microwave in the room and one chair. The bed was a king-size and pretty comfortable. The motel is the kind where you drive to the door of your room so my truck was right there. Don't let the waiting room, which did have a couple vending machines, scare you away.
Well.. we didn’t get stabbed! Looks sketchy on the outside but rooms are comfortable. Decent place to lay your head for the night. Water pressure in shower was great!
