Stayed for 3 nights, reasonable rate for what you get. Microwave and refrigerator in room was awesome. King bed was comfy, lots of seating and tables. I think the only cons are its a little rough around the edges, outdated exterior, but at least no rif-raf in the parking lot. The room wasnt "spotless" but clean enough for a general stay. Shower is VERY outdated, definitely early 80's vibes. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and probably would stay again if i was in the area.

My stay was truly excellent. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely appreciated as a guest. A special thank you to Usha, who was absolutely amazing — her kindness and attentiveness made a real difference and made the experience feel personal and warm. The location is perfect, especially being so close to the highway exit, which made getting around very convenient. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would happily return. Highly recommended!

This was a nice place to stay and more parking was available because there did not appear to be a lot of occupants on a weekday. I like any room with carpet. I always check to make sure there is hot water from the sink and shower, before using them. The chairs did not have a soft backrest, but using one of the pillows helped. Bring a pair of slippers, a box of napkins, and some liquid soap.

The location is great for travelers who appreciate convenience. Local gas stations, well known restaurants are walking distance. Staff is friendly and polite. The only complaint is the noise from outside and those staying next to you. Walls are so thin, you can hear everything. I would recommend getting a upstairs room nearest the end so you can negate the outside surrounding
