We just needed a place to sleep and shower as we travelled. We have 3 priorities: 1) clean, 2) comfortable bed, not a board, and 3) everything works. Decor, age and breakfast are irrelevant. This place checked our boxes. We would stay again.

Very quiet area. The motel is all by itself since the surrounding businesses are closed. Would recommend for the road warrior just looking for a bed and a shower.

MUY MAL EN GENERAL !!!

Recorrimos todo estados unidos en 18 días y a todos los hoteles que llegamos nos trataron muy bien! Llegamos un poco tarde a este hotel, teníamos reservadas 6 habitaciones y nos trataron en recepción peor que si fuéramos delincuentes, muy mala actitud de la persona que nos atendió, por la hora ya no buscamos otro hotel, las condiciones del hotel eran malas, los cuartos con mobiliario viejo, tenia mal olor, el desayuno que se supone lo incluía fue inexistente solo café, al reservar era la única opción en verdad no reserven aquí,

Sketchy area, good night's sleep

Don't be fooled. The immediate surrounding area looks super sketchy, but the hotel was comfortable. The breakfast offering were a little thin, but the bed was nice and everything was clean and well-maintained.

Way over priced!

Not real happy! Room was suppose to be king size bed but ended up in a small room with a single bed. Place is old and dated. Cleanliness is not a priority. Hotel is way over priced for what your get. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Close to the Interstate Hwy

Very reasonable rates. New owner is working hard to please. The continental breakfast is a little sad but Kenny's Oak Grill is just a short drive downtown for a fantastic breakfast.
