Very pleasantly surprised, this roadside motel is a real gem. Spotless and well maintained, our room looked recently renovated. The bed was comfy. Did need more blankets because they don't use comforters on the beds. A/C in room worked great. The bathroom was SO CLEAN! Highly recommend for the price point.

The inside of the room was clean, an older vibe, a beautiful, soft (not too soft) bed, and a large room. Does not have a couch or table like the pictures. For the price, it was great When we checked in, we had an issue with the key, but the front desk was amazing and helped get a new room, and he did all the walking back and forth.

The room was very clean, but the smell of old cigarettes permeated the whole room! There were visible yellow condensation marks on the bathroom ceiling. The furnishings in the room were old, but ok The noise levels were truly awful. I've stayed in other budget hotels on the Gasoline Alley, and this is by far the worst.

The bathroom was not very clean and we where there for 4 nights and every night we got back to the room we had to get the key card redone which was a pan when we where upstairs in the and snowing. Then the second night there where people banging on the door at 4am 2 doors down and the three and forth night there fast a big fight form the same people at 2am. The railing, on the second level was strapped to the roof with stap and In zip ties.
