It was cheap (relatively speaking), clean and no problem with management meeting me late at night to get me my key to my room - effortless. If you only need a basic, clean room and comfortable bed at a decent price, this is your place. .

If you’re just looking for something quick cheap in the middle of everything with no frills, this is the place for you. Best thing is that the rooms come with good size refrigerators in a microwave. Bed is firm and pillows are ok. No breakfast is served, but there is a coffee maker in the room. Centrally located within a minute to 5 of dining and casinos. Staff was excellent. It was a local family owned motel.

Stayed 3 nights. For the low rate, it was a great stay. Blocks from both Safeway and Whole Foods and some breakfast place. Not too walkable to Stateline Casinos but it is possible and there is a shuttle. But for this low rate, it was great. I would stay again for this price.

I have stayed at this place several times in the past year, and haven't had any issues other than the one time which was super hot and the fans in the room didn't really help. But overall it has been pleasant.
