The staff where friendly and the room was comfortable. It was a little loud due to traffic and people kept knocking on the door early in the morning hours.
Price was as quoted over the phone (60.00) with tax included, room smelled clean and sheets and blanket smelled clean also... furniture and decor super out dated, tv microwave and mini fridge all work, shower and toilet were clean, all around a great place, would give 5 stars but the cable was kinda sketchy....
Great value for money. Room interiors just like any more expensive motel (though exterior a bit shabby. Still, when I stay at a motel, it is for the room, and the bed, not how it looks from the road).
Great budget hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Bus stops here too!
The room was outdated, but the beds were new very comfortable and it was really clean. Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back to stay.
From the outside the place looks regular. Surprisingly the rooms are ridiculously super nice and super clean. The service/ front desk, super helpful and committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The staff and ownership is A1/ top tier. I stay here every time I come to town. As an artist, cleanliness and comfort is something I can never sacrifice. This place feels the same. This is the best motel in the area believe it or not. Go see for yourself....
Great customer service..freindly and affordable..even have smoking rooms a plus..alot of hotels suck because of no smoking.
Only been there to get the Jefferson Lines bus. Office is very clean and so are the restrooms. They offer fresh free hot coffee for all customers
