I enjoyed talking to staff or clerk. He was helpful as well. It's a decent motel for the 1 night stay for a young person or someone on a budget. It's the best of the lot of motels in the immediate area. There's quick food 🍔 🥪 🍗 close by, a Starbucks and gas ⛽ stations. What's interesting, is this motel will have a working decent pool as well in the near future.

We took a chance because the rate was so inexpensive. The room was clean, the bedding seemed new, all the basics were covered. There's quite a bit of road noise and a train comes through occasionally. Ear plugs helped with that. I would stay here again.

Due to its location near the freeway and a truck stop, the hotel can be subject to traffic noise. Nonetheless, the management staff, especially Harry, were consistently professional and courteous, contributing to a comfortable and pleasant experience.

I’ll start by saying it was probably worth what I paid. Which wasn’t much. However they had recycled soap there. The kind you see on TikTok. Where they ship used soap to India and the make new soap with it. As I was using the soap hair was coming out of it. Pretty nasty. Bed was rough but I didn’t see any signs of bed bugs. I would probably stay there again in a pinch but probably not my first choice. It does have a lot of restaurants around it. That was nice. Pool seemed like it was permanently broken? Not sure. The grounds were pretty clean. Not much trash even in the parking lot. I just needed a place to sleep and it got the job done.

Place was good enough for a overnight pit stop and bed for $40. Affordable is enough too. Staff is Midwestern friendly and helpful, perfect resting place in location between Bakersfield and Grapevine. Plentiful food trucks and fad options.
