They are really doing a very good job at this hotel. The management are very nice and they keep a close eye on the addict's in the area and make sure they don't disturb their guests at the hotel there's all kinds of different places to eat within walking distance and the hotel price is just a steal. Coming to this motel is a win win situation. Thanks đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

This is literally a hotel if you must get something quick and low on money!! It helped with a situation that I needed to house someone and all other places yes nicer but higher price then what i wanted to pay! If I had to choose to go there to house a friend I’d go with the two bedroom it was nicer with a private balcony but again these are very low income hotel rooms ! Tv fridge microwave is in room. But staff is nice easy to communicate with!
