It was a basic square room. No decorations. Nothing to make you feel cozy. The rep wanted cash for the deposit, which seemed weird. I didnt have cash so he just gave me the key, yes an actual key not a card. The bed was kind of worn but not too bad to sleep on. Would not go back.
Great friendly staff Room was kept clean enjoyed my stay

Place was clean. Room 9A, air conditioner worked great but leaked on the floor. Shower temperature gadget needs to be repaired. Other than that, stay was fine and clean.
The owner of the hotel is a very nice person.
Checks up on you to see if you need anything.
I stayed here for a week due to work. Best price in town.
Thank you.

Place was great and convenient stayed 8 nights. Bobby was a great help and staff was very friendly. fast food/taco trucks and restaurants/bar's were close by and walking distance overall a great stay will come back again!
The customer service team was great and super understanding and friendly. Had a fun time at the staying and they did not mind us checking out later than 11 AM.
Overall the service was excellent, and the owners were nice, hotel was clean and the AC worked perfectly.
