It's a good location near Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, etc. Good highway access and descent quality for the price! New management has been a plus in making the motel better

Several transient people hanging around the area. Our room was supposed to have a fridge and microwave. It had neither, although there was a place for them. A lamp with outlet didn’t work. Needs some work, to have the ratings it shows. Disappointed.

The room itself was better than I expected honestly. It really wasn’t bad, especially for the price that I booked. However, the floor on one side of the bed was sticky. Early in the morning, I hear a woman making loud noises which sounded to me like a person strung out on drugs right outside of my window… Again, for the price the rooms are very decent and the staff was as normal.

People screaming, slamming doors, dogs barking, loud music all night long. smelled like marijuana. Trash littering both the hallways inside and the entire parking lot.

Like that it was near all the fast-food restaurants & wal-mart super center. It is right off the freeway too!👍
