Solid Budget Choice

For the price, a great hotel. Certainly no 5-star resort but the room was decently clean, a/c was loud but worked very well, & the overnight stay was quiet & uneventful, although the room did vibrate when the train passes by (quietly though: felt kind of like an earthquake but no noise). The lady at the front desk was also nice & helpful—I accidentally booked the wrong room type but she switched us for no additional charge. I know other reviews mentioned not having fridge or microwave but both were present in our room.

For the price it’s good. Towels are size of a tee shirt, no soap or shampoo, can’t run AC more then few hours or it freezes up and have to turn off for 15 mins. Big box fan in my room. Shower is made for someone who’s 5’. I’m not complaining, just mentioning those things.

No other option

They charged me a 50.00 deposit. The room was cold. The water in the shower turned scorching hot and then cold again. The attending didn't give the WiFi password. Was rude. Left to go to another spot.

Even charging $10 per night to my companion “the service dog” As cleaning charge. Room was dirty, toilet paper was handed on check-in. However there was nothing in the room, only two sets of hand and bath towels. No blankets, only a thin sheet and very light bed cover. Around 11pm, power went off, then outage afterwards. No heater, no lightings, moreover no announcement for emergency situation. Frozen snowy weather outside, needed to wrap ourselves with clothes. No one at the office to conduct the awful situation. Checked out early to get out from icy room. Every hotel website should notify of this fact to all costumers.

Nice motel

If you are not looking for a 5 star accommodations but just a place to crash for a night, this is a great motel for the money, friendly staff, fast check in, clean bed and hot shower with nice pressure. Mini fridge and microwave in the room. No frills and slightly aged decor. I only needed a room for a night during a roadtrip from CA to OK, and the location is very convenient when driving on I-40, will use again.

If you’re looking for fancy, this is not for you. It suited my needs after traveling 600 miles. I just needed a place to crash. Checkin lady was super sweet. It is a bit noisy.
