In all honesty, I gave all perfect scores because the young man working on 7/25/2025 was fast, respectful and caring when it came to getting my little girls into a room. He went and double checked the room before getting us keys to ensure it was ready for them to go lay down. He moved fast and efficient. Will return as long as he continues to be an employee for this establishment!

The room we checked into the AC didn’t work. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and quickly changed our room to a much cooler ground floor. He was great.

Decent stay for the price

Our room AC was out so they moved us to another room right away. The breakfast was good for this type of motel. Sink needs to be in the bathroom instead of across the entryway. Toilet seat has no lid to sit down when you get dressed.

Room was very quiet due to the cinder block walls and had updated furnishings in our room. The sink was in the bedroom area and was outdated as was the tub and tiles in the enclosed bathroom. We walked to McDonald's well after dark and felt safe doing so and had no concerns about our vehicle in the parking lot. For the price you have to expect some issues. The interior hallways could use new carpet and the building overall feels outdated. We arrived at breakfast about 30 mins before it closed and there was no pancake batter left or milk for cereal with one in sight to ask if it would be restocked. Had toast, yogurt and orange juice. I would stay at this location again but definitely go down for breakfast earlier.

The room was very satisfactory except for two items that I noted for the staff. Not many dining choices in the area.

This property advertises a high speed wifi connection which is not at all what it offers. We asked the front desk to fix it, even showing her a speed test with the advertisement and she said she could not do anything about it. There was a dog barking non stop in our hallway and she did try to contact the owner, but could not reach them. Really, unhapoy about the false advertising.

Stay Away

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was not clean, full of allergens, smelled terrible, and was hot. One of my friends was coughing so much, he decided to just sleep in the car. If I could give this place 0 stars, i would.
