Room was filthy. Smelled like Febreze Plug In Air Freshener, Odor-Fighting Oil Kits were plugged into every wall socket in the room. The smell was so strong, but still didn't mask out the terrible moldy odor. Spend the extra $ and upgrade to a better more reputable Hotel or Motel.

Hotel is very old building that saw better days many years ago. Room was very clean and everything worked. As a solo male traveler I would stay here again. It was a good value for the cost.

Very good option for a budget motel. Clean, comfortable bed, plenty of hot water. Like all at this very low price point, there's some wear and tear, but they try very hard and do many small things better than expensive hotels. Breakfast is minimal, but adequate and better than some other extremely low-cost places. Wi-fi not so good, but you can't expect everything at this price.

Loved the check-in woman. Very helpful. They have permanent residents, & we were in Room 3. Room 2 kept their TV going all night long. I could hear it through the walls & my earplugs.

Nice people running the place so I feel bad with the review but if there had been more accurate reviews here my family could’ve avoided this bad experience. You pull up and the building is falling apart but, hey, don’t judge a book by its cover and it is called “economy”, you’re not expecting something great. But the we checked in and the water came out brown from the faucet, the toilet only sometimes flushed, the smell in the room was like strong perfume-y smell in a really bad way. We killed one giant ant on the wall. Then pulled back the covers and there was a big bug walking around on top of the sheet. We packed our bags and left. It was a cheap room but still a waste of money as we had to pay for a different place to stay.

Other reviews are spot on. Older motel, but clean. Breakfast disappointing. Location a little sketchy, but convenient to restaurant and convenience store. No coffee maker in the room and no options for coffee condiments, only sugar and powdered creamer. No sugar free options, luckily, i had my own.
