The property was only accessible from one direction on a very busy divided street. Rooms were excellent. There was no cleaning of the room during my 5 day stay. The staff were very helpful courteous and friendly. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Worked very well for me.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly, easy check in. Rooms were so much better than I was expecting. All in all the only thing I did not like about this motel was the fact it's in an area that feels relatively unsafe. No problems with the motel itself! It was great for our night there, checked in super late but was met with no issues.

Very clean but WiFi is super slow.

Outside look not so nice but the inside is really nice and clean. Only thing I didn’t like is the Wi-Fi is super slow.

Sarah

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I stayed here overnight for an early morning flight. I would have been better off driving through the night or sleeping in my vehicle. The room door was hard to lock (had to lift it to insert deadbolt). It's noisy, the AC was noisy, the outside is falling apart, the bed is harder than a rock, and it overall is not a pleasant stay for a single woman. I did not feel safe. I will not every stay again. Not worth the $80 I paid.

It was good for the price, clean and friendly. Don't expect extras like other motels. No microwave, refrigerator in room, no extra locks on doors, all steps. It was fine for just staying one night but wouldn't recommend if staying longer.

It was good for one night. Shower was very nice and bed was confortable. Toilet paper wasn't restocked but I was not in the room long enough to care. Loud engines from random cars in the middle of the night but that isn't the motels fault. Functional AC.

The units were clean and in good shape. Lots of lights. Good shower. The street outside was noisy with frequent motorcycles, but with the air conditioner on the noise didn't bother me.

Great place for the $$

The hotel was great. The room looked just like the pictures. Check in was easy and the man behind the counter was helpful and pleasant. The shower was amazing (big enough for 2 people) The only thing that may upset customers would be the noise from the traffic in the morning. If you are a light sleeper, as I am, the traffic could wake you up. My wife slept thru it. I would highly recommend this hotel. You can not go wrong at this price.
