What you pay is what you get. Its a clean bed and a door that locks which is all I can ask for. The only issue was our ac didnt get too cold but for the price, you deal with it. Easy check in and the woman behind the counter was absolutely pleasant all around.

It was definitely not as pictured. Walked without socks in room, and my feet were black. Hourly rates are posted in office. Staff was friendly though.

Not Good

Seeing the pictures on hotel.com I thought it looked nice, especially for the price. When I got to the motel, there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling, the lighting was awful, and the floor felt a little gritty. The door to the room was not sturdy at all and felt like it would break when I checked to make sure it was locked. And because of the hole in the ceiling I could hear everything above me as if I was in the same room. The staff was pleasant enough and the hand painted mural on the wall was nice. Overall, do not recommend.

The room was nice the shower had amazing heat and water pressure. Mirrors everywhere. The only thing is they have the TV blocked so I couldn’t hook up my game to watch l my shows. Other than that perfect smoking allowed too!

This property is falling apart. Paint peeling, floors cracked, toilet and tub/shower cracked, moldy. There was dirt and mold everywhere. The faucet wouldn’t turn off and ran all night. It smelled awful to the point of all of our belongings smelling when we got home. 0/10

My wife and I didn’t even stay more than 5 minutes. It was not clean and there were cats going in and out of open doors to rooms. Instead of staying , we decided to drive back 4 hours back home if that tells you anything.

This not a save place people screaming at other people at midnight, three in the morning and four in the morning. No security no lights on property after midnight. I do not understand why Expedia puts it out on their sit. Rooms are not clean right. Cigarettes burn holes on curtains, bedding and floor. Floor not swept. Air conditioning did work. The parking lot is small and other business use the driveway to park making it hard to leave. Rates are hourly, weekly and monthly. Price was not worth it.

It's the worst place I've ever been to, I asked for my money back because I booked 4 nights. and I could only stay one night, it's a place where undesirable people go, to have sex with three or four people, the worst night of my life
