It’s a great place to stay the night. It’s also a great place for work crews to get rest. The owners are amazing and always willing to please as long as you are respectful. Like it should be.

This is an older property that has old fixtures and old furniture. I know this is for the budget traveler, but even so, I would not stay here again.

Older motel. Good if you need a place to sleep. Overall room was clean, bathroom could use better scrubbing. Can't check-in before 2pm. Most hotels will let you check in but will tell you room won't be ready until... Not this one. Had to check in much later due to prior commitments.

Counters were falling apart, dresser was breaking at the bottom, shower curtain was falling off the wall, the light switch worked 1 light, plugs fell out of outlets, and the a/c was not on before checking in so the carpet had moisture from humidity

I was there for about 10 min and i checked out and left i didnt even stay its was so unbelievably disgusting. I lost $180 because I refused to stay in such a nasty mess. I almost gaged when i walked in the door. There were holes in the bedding and stuff splattered on the walls and writing on the door and a huge crack in the ceiling obviously leaking and making the floor underneath weak and unsafe to walk on. The door wouldn't close all the way its was so bad.

Was ok but definitely nothing special. For one night passing through, it’ll do, especially being almost half price of everyone else around. For more than 1-2 days, I’d definitely book else.
