Value motel

It’s the cheapest hotel in central location so for the price it’s hard to go wrong. Big comfy bed, great free wifi, fridge/microwave, even a really convenient dressing table and table+chair for two people. The only real issue we found was a nasty smell in the rooms and the bathrooms are pretty gross - but minor issues for the price.

It was an average low budget hotel but had clean rooms and friendly staff. There was a lot of blight and homeless in the area but was close to entertainment and food options.

Chose the double standard room and it was MUCH nicer than the single king. Private balcony, powerful AC, clean bathroom. Can tell where the money for renovations has gone.

You get what you pay for. It was a cheap place to stay in a good location. There is a night club right across the street. We stayed on a Saturday night and the noise level was crazy all night, so if you are sensitive to that, I would not stay here. The first room we were assigned had no smoke detector and there was a constant chirp. We were given a different room. This room had a dead cockroach in the bathroom. The AC worked really well and the bed was fine. The location is just a little sketchy depending on which direction you walk. There was free parking which was nice. Chase stadium was a 20 minute walk from the motel. Overall, it was fine and we had a good time.

The price was good, but it's obvious this property cuts corners to maintain profits. The front desk clerk who ran the evening shift was nice and the location was super close to the venue. For a place to crash for a single night, this property was worth it's value

The staff here was the best and were very helpful. That's the good but my room(106) had a dingy smell. bathroom door is not hinged correctly and three times I got towells with a black spot on it. Ok if you don't bring the family and you don't plan on spending much time in the room. You get what you pay for.
