All and all for the age of the property, our stay was pleasant. I travel through this area several times a year but I did not know this motel was here. The owners are working on remodeling, assumedly it was recently reopened following being another chain's location. The staff at check-in was well prepared and friendly. The shower had good water pressure and was hot. The climate control worked well. Beds were new and exactly as they should be. The property is older and needing updating but our room as fine. A good value for the area -- and close to many restaurants and shopping. The Horseshoe Curve is about 15 minutes away. If we need a place to stay in the future, we will return.

Temper your expectations, and it's fine

It's fine for the price. Very no frills, and don't trust to get much on the TV, but if all you need is a place to crash for a day or two, it works.

Terrible experience

There was no one available at the front desk and no one was answering the phone calls so we couldn’t check-in and we had to leave the property without even checking-in in the middle of the night. It was a terrible experience. We never saw a hotel without a front desk person. I would advise no one should book this hotel for their trips.

Arrived and the hotel was closed. The place looked like a ghost town, maybe three cars parked on the entire property including mine. Some random guy whom I assume lives there was smoking a cigarette by the door told me they would be back at 4 o’clock. I went to another hotel down the street that wasn’t closed. I later found Google reviews saying similar things. I highly recommend that Expedia as well as other travel sites pull this hotel from their websites.
