Beware of booking online with this guy. He WILL take advantage of you however he possibly can- double charge; place you in a room with mold churning through the A/C knowing you have an allergy/intolerance for that; he is not a man of his word, he will steal your money and commit fraud to do it. Doesn't matter how careful you are hes all about leaching every penny he can out of you, even if you request a particular room he will tell you it's available one min and 2 minutes later tell you its rented as he laughs and says "its nonrefundable." The young man that is there some mornings is great and i found his wife to be kind and helpful.

Good short stay

Crown Motel is a pretty average place to stay. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done if you’re just looking for somewhere affordable. The rooms are basic and could use a little updating, but they’re clean enough for a short stay. The location is convenient, and the price is definitely one of the better things about it. Overall, it’s not the best motel out there, but if you’re on a budget and need something simple, it works.Big heads up before check in request staff to turn AC on, it does take a while to freshen up but once up room is nice and cool

The staff went out of their wy to accommodate me. They switched my upstairs room to downstairs. The tv wasn't working, a new one was brought in. The soundproof room was perfect. My only concern was the ceiling above the shower needed a touchup after what appeared to be an old leak.
