I haven't been in those rooms...in so long thay are not even the same my God thay changed alot..every thing so different thay don't even have the swimming pool anymore
It's an old motel with rooms starting at $48 but our room clean the hot water was instant and very hot. It's just a couple of blocks from a store and has an Indian Cuisine restaurant next door.
The foxy girl at the counter really made a trip to the front office worth looking forward to. Nice relaxed atmosphere and decent rooms. Check out the Johnny Cash room for a few bucks more!
would have only given 3 starts but the Indian food place next door was on point! The wifi was broken, the shower was a painful stream of water, warped sheet steel to cover a pothole that every time it was driven over it sounded like a car was crashing into the room. But its cheap, 17 inch tv and all
Best Staff Ever!! All of them!! I have never stayed in a more Friendly atmosphere!! Every desk clerk I've met have been so welcoming. The housekeeper, well we became Instant Friends!! I am planning to keep my room another week for sure if available!! I love it here!!

Motel you gotta have a out of town D.L to get in a room. Otherwise it's a place to sleep for the night

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
