Old motel but comfortable and great staff.

First of all, this hotel is old and located directly next to IH35. With that being said, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was as clean as it could be. There was soap, shampoo. The bed was comfortable. But the best part? The air conditioning worked fantastically. Overall, for the price, it was a good experience and I would recommend.

Older motel. Good if you need a place to sleep. Overall room was clean, bathroom could use better scrubbing. Can't check-in before 2pm. Most hotels will let you check in but will tell you room won't be ready until... Not this one. Had to check in much later due to prior commitments.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, there were no bugs at all. Beds felt a bit uncomfortable but for the price I paid a night Im not going to complain. Also the TV only had basic cable so we pretty much only had 3 channels worth watching the whole week. Biggest issue is the walls are very thin and the traffic noise outside sounded the same if the door was wide open or not.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Honestly would have preferred to sleep in the car. Cockroaches on the ceiling, carpet and in the bathtub. Asked the reception to change the room. New room also had cockroaches. I feel the carpet floor, ceiling boards and wall partitions are infested with cockroach eggs that the only solution is to burn this place down. Avoid at all costs. At least the parking lot was alright and car was safe. Checked out 5am just to get out of there. Still have nightmares 18 months later

It’s a great place to stay the night. It’s also a great place for work crews to get rest. The owners are amazing and always willing to please as long as you are respectful. Like it should be.

Was ok but definitely nothing special. For one night passing through, it’ll do, especially being almost half price of everyone else around. For more than 1-2 days, I’d definitely book else.

Great value for price. King room is a bit small but the double queen bed room is a great size. It’s spacious, you get plenty of towels. Refrigerator, tv, ac/heater, etc. work perfectly. Rooms and equipment is old but it works. The property is quiet even at night and allows for peaceful rest. Staff is helpful and friendly.
