You get what you pay for

The bed was comfortable. Room was stuffy upon arrival. We needed a place to order a pizza, sleep, then get back on the road…nothing fancy needed. Area was a little skeptical at night. We left at 6:30 and no coffee or anything. The office was locked so we returned key to the manager through a window. Dominos did not have delivery at 8:00 at night so we ordered Pizza Hut. The delivery could not find the place so my husband stood in the parking lot and waved them down. Outdated facilities, showers. Nice ice machine.Price matched offerings. Would not stay again.

Really good option for price. We travel with a pet. No frills, for sure, but clean and quiet. The manager was very quick to help when our tv remote didn’t work. We would stay again.

It was a good place when i needed a break in driving. The staff was very courteous evening and mornig. It was conveniently located close to the interstate, far enough for quite and close enough to be quick back on the road. I'll stop there again.

The whole exterior of the property smelled of marijuana from occupants sitting in their vehicle, smoking all day. At night, there were at least 50 crickets that showed up in my room, chirping all night long, so many that I had them piled up in a group after killing them. When I opened the room door, there were hundreds of people outside the room on the concrete—black curly hairs all over the bathroom with a large dirty ring around the middle. They advertise a low rate but after they add all their fees on, it's no cheaper than any other hotel in town and a whole lot dirtier. Bring a gallon of bug spray if you stay. You're going to need it.
