It was comfortable enough if you have a small budget. The problems were the ants, and the bathroom and towels were not properly cleaned. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciate the refrigerator and microwave in the room. I wish it was closer to restaurants or stores for snacks. I was hungry!

stay away, not worth it

Arrived an hour past check in start time and check in still took 20 minutes. The front desk rep left to check the room for 5-10 minutes. Upon entering, the room REEKED of bleach. We aired it out for a few minutes only to find the bleach smell was masking a mildew smell. I tried to use the toilet but the seat was wet (unsure with what). It was so awful and hurt to breathe in the room that we checked out within a half hour. Absolutely horrible. What’s worse is they wanted to charge me for another night ($120) to cancel! Scummy place and policies. Do not recommend even if you're on a budget crunch - look for a healthy and clean plan.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable but substandard in some ways. The shower barely worked, the towels were thin, the toilet ran on and there was a bit of an unpleasant odor in the room. However, the front desk clerk was very polite and accommodating. The whole property is about what you would expect for the price.

Surprisingly nice

Surprisingly clean, comfy, and quiet for a motel within spitting distance of an interstate off ramp. Nicely located with access to food venues. Including a dispensary directly out front, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Not great

Served the purpose of a bed to sleep in but nothing more. Requested a nonsmoking room but room smelled like stale smoke and musty. Lots of noise. Burn marks on bedding. Seriously considered finding another place after we saw the room even though we had checked in close to 10pm.

Check in was very slow. Employee was having a very long phone conversation and was not paying attention to what he was doing. I was put in a “non-smoking” room. It was anything but. It smelled terrible. The area was very sketchy. I was concerned about my vehicle being there overnight. The good news was that it was poring rain.

Good budget hôtel. Clean room, friendly staff, were very understanding and helpful. The first room was smelling smoke, so the receptionist changed it straight away. The next room was fine, good price, so all good.
