Nice rooms fairly quiet. House keeper extremely nice actually cleans the rooms. Low weekly rates as well. Would have liked to be able to get 2 keys since I am renting a room with my spouse and we work different shifts but it's not that big of a deal. Best budget in. I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at a few in different states and this location is by far the best and the most friendly staff. There is a 20$ cash deposit but that is also way lower than other locations and other hotels in the area and I completely understand that as well because the rooms are very nice. I wish they had laundry room for guests but maybe one day in the future. I would definitely recom mend to family and friends!

It's budget inn, what else do you expect? The room was a bit run-down, holes and stains on the blanket. I entered the room and heard a noise, I checked it out and it was the faucet dripping. I tried turning it and it dripped the whole night. The tub didn't drain well. The WiFi was slow. The pillows were very soft, not comfortable. I would say, the area was pretty quiet. If it's a last minute booking and you want to save money for one night, then book it. If it's a long term stay, go somewhere else

Just read it…

Okay- this place is not the Ritz- it is an old motel, which should gauge your expectations. And for 50 bucks at that! BUT- it is reasonably well cared for, there was zero evidence of vermin of any kind, and there were no seedy characters hanging around. It is well lit and right on the main drag of town near Walmart, etc. The thing that drives my rating higher with a positive review are the hosts. They barely speak any English, but the gentleman is so kind and pleasant, and takes care of everything on the property himself with his wife. This is a couple in a strange land who are WORKING to make ends meet and taking care of themselves, and making an honest effort to take care of their guests! Hats off to them!

Pets / no pets

The room wasn't terrible. The floors needed cleaned ant the shower drained slowly. The bigger issue is I booked it because it was pet friendly. When I arrived, with my dog, they had a big sign saying no pets. I argued with the desk clerk about it and had yo bring the room up on the website. Finally, he said ok. Since the room was nonrefundable, and the dog was with me. This could have been a big issue.

Don’t waste your money on this stupid thing

This place has no WiFi and is not even close to the advertised service. I told them the room I had was supposed be a king bed and they said they couldn’t even understand the language and they told me to leave the room I paid for in advanced to ensure I was comfortable instead we were given a full size bed and they told us that we can’t even have a visitor if we had any one to come over for a few minutes to help us and then I told that we would have to leave then threatens to make me leave due to my wife and I were not clothed at all he comes inside while were telling them that we were not decent I was just treated as if I had did something wrong
Air comes through the door can see daylight and the door is closed also from the outside the door is able to get in with a card
