Sufficient for a nights stay. A bit outdated, but for the price that’s kind of expected.

The stay and property was okay. The smell in the room was terrible. It smelled like cigarettes which made it had to sleep, but you get what you pay for.

Inside was dirty when we arrived, air wasn’t on, very hot when we arrived. Bathroom was nasty there was soap in the window holding the window open. I wear my shoes the whole time during my stay. Even in the shower. We left the room cleaner than what it was when we arrived. Would not be surprised if they keep our/others deposit blaming the dirtiest on the guest. Would not book this again.

Bare bones hotel
This was a bare bones hotel. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was Wi-Fi and a tv, and not much else. If all you want is a comfortable bed, then this is the place for you.

This an older property, but well maintained, clean and the staff were very good. Being a motel, parking is right outside of the room, which is great. Will certainly stay again.
