The property is quiet. There is a gas station, 711 and taco shop across tbe street. This is a comfortable motel if you need somewhere to rest and DONT want partying and loud noise to disturb you.

Overall it was a pleasant experience, it would have been better had there not been roaches, and if the shower stayed close. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

Only if you have to

This hotel needs huge upgrades. There was wet drywall behind the toilet that looked like it was molding, the ceiling tiles had stains, the baseboards were black and grimy, and I killed two cockroaches. On another note, the staff was very helpful, responsive, and pleasant.

The bathroom shower head could use replacing and the walls in there could use a cleaning with some cabinet replacements the beds were really uncomfortable no coffee pot or condiments the towels were stained and the bed cover had burn holes all through it. I think a little changes and this place would be the place to go if you like the piece and quite. Which I do. So I felt like I picked the right place to go. They just need a little TLC.

When I first entered the room, I noticed a sheet covering the chair in the corner. I don't know why it was there, but I felt like the room hadn't been finished being cleaned. Not a big deal. Neither were the very stained towels.

Don't go here

This hotel is the dirtiest hotel i have ever stayed in, the bathroom was dirty the walls were dirty the flooring was put in by someone other than a Profesional. The room had roaches and there were a bunch. I would steer away form this place, luckily i only had to stsy one night, or i would have been looking for another hotel in the area.
