So clean and convenient. It was also very quiet. The staff was very helpful as well. Great amenities, including a refrigerator, a coffee maker with coffee packets, and a blow dryer (attached to the wall).

Cleaner than your average motel. Location was not as convenient, but it was definitely worth driving a slightly further distance for this price. Staff was pleasant and available most hours. Room and bathroom were very spacious. Overall a good experience. Will definitely book again.

This was the best experience I had this year. The manager allowed me to stay 21 nights. It was an affordable small hotel with a clean, large room with a king bed. The staff, employees, and maids were first-rate. The TV channels were more Asian Variety. Parking was good. The air conditioning was good. Nice and quiet.

The room we were originally given was not serviced when we opened the door. Apparently the maid did not tell the management that the room was not done. They did immediately put us in a clean room, nonetheless. Towels could use an upgrade.

Only 2 of the outlets worked, the fridge was plugged in as well but wasn't working. The shower was dirty and the curtain rod was curved and took up more than half the already tiny bathroom. We did see a couple cockroaches which we were able to relocate outside. But the beds were clean as far as I could tell and the staff was kind and helpful.

I stayed here before and the room is not too bad until last night. I didn't get a good night sleep because the bed bugs keep biting me, I must have sweet blood. I got up and moved the mattress and actually saw the bug run behind the mattress. I suggest that the hotel owner steam clean the mattress and clean behind the headboard for more bugs hiding. The bumps on my arms and fingers are very itchy.

We needed a place to sleep while visiting an ill patient in a nearby hospital. The room was very old and had a weird smell. Overall, it was dirty, including the walls, bathroom sink, and comforter. We decided to stay since it was already late and we were unfamiliar with the area, but we were really concerned about the cleanliness and safety. Someone outside was walking back and forth all night, being loud, and at one point, even trying to come into our room. If I had read the reviews, I wouldn't have hesitated to spend more to stay somewhere else. Your peace of mind is worth more than the money you save. Don't stay here.

Definitely a cheap motel. There is an old musky smell in each room. My friends were staying a few units down from mine and the smell/condition was the same. My unit had linoleum floors and it wasn’t mopped in a while. When I moved barefoot from the shower to the bedroom and back my feet were dirty and left mud prints in the bathroom floor. There previously was graffiti on the shower rod. I could still see it even though there was an effort to take it off. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way. The shampoo was watered down - not sure if on purpose or if it was a bad brand. Shower caulking wasn’t very clean. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Again, if you are looking for cheap accommodations this fits the bill. I’m leaving an honest review here because I read the opposite of what I experienced. If I would have known what I do now I won’t be back. The service counter was nice to switch rooms when the original room smelled like cigarettes (non-smoking).

The refrigerator was very smelly inside and found out it was not working. The main door was jammed. There were hairs on the bedsheets. There’s a mold stain at the bottom of the bathtub. My kids found a small cockroach on the bathtub on the second day, and we smashed it. We won’t be coming back to the same hotel. I honestly think the room cleaner needs to do a better job.
