It's a budget motel and should be viewed as such. With that being said I've been here for 2 weeks and have no complaints. The manager is honest, friendly, and very accommodating. I would stay again in the future if need be and would recommend to anyone needing a room on a budget.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The price for the room was very responsible. The neighborhood around the motel is a little iffy. But overall it’s really a nice place to stay if you are looking for one and especially if you were on a budget.

Im staying here because the service has been excellent so far, the price point is reasonable. The room was spotless and smelled nice upon my arrival. The furnishings are old fashioned but sturdy and clean and fresh in this way. My room is spacious with one large pillow top mattress with three pillows and two blankets, a nice minifridge and microwave, box tv, cable, and cool a.c. The shower/bathroom is small but clean and the water is warm. I am thankful to be here. There is no laundromat available on site but there is one about a half mile from the location. The ice machine is broken and i didnt see a coke machine but there was one clean mini ice tray in my mini fridge and there are multiple stores within a quarter to a half of a mile distance. Oh and there's no nasty carpeting! The floors have been redone with vinyl. I can walk barefoot in the room and still have clean feet to get in the freshly made bed. Tonight I rest.
