I stayed here for 4 nights for a softball tournament. Clean rooms for the price. No bugs or smoke smell. The bathrooms are clean. The A/C works well and isn't loud. They also serve a very light breakfast. I highly recommend this place. Kudos to owner and staff.

Can't really give an honest review as I only delivered to a guest. The overall cleanliness was pretty good. Lighting was good. The rooms were labeled well. I was able to find the room I needed to deliver to without incident. It was during the day and I didn't see a concierge. I am assuming that they probably have additional duties. Overall the place was fine.

Clean, quiet and affordable rooms. The guy behind the counter was super helpful and nice even checked how our stay was the next morning at check out. We got a good nights sleep here and it was easy to get back on the road because it's right off the interstate.

I recently stayed at a motel during a road trip, and my experience was fairly decent. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the motel's amenities were basic, and the decor was a bit outdated. Overall, it served its purpose as a budget-friendly option for a night's rest on the road.
