If you’re just looking for something quick cheap in the middle of everything with no frills, this is the place for you. Best thing is that the rooms come with good size refrigerators in a microwave. Bed is firm and pillows are ok. No breakfast is served, but there is a coffee maker in the room. Centrally located within a minute to 5 of dining and casinos. Staff was excellent. It was a local family owned motel.

It was cheap (relatively speaking), clean and no problem with management meeting me late at night to get me my key to my room - effortless. If you only need a basic, clean room and comfortable bed at a decent price, this is your place. .
