Excelent room and service for a very cheap price. Today we were trying to go back home with my husband and two kids and after a very long trip we were looking for a place to sleep to avoid a car accident and this was the only place that opened it’s doors after check out time and did not asked for extra money. the receptionist was very kind, respectful, helpful and welcoming. They saved our lives today this hotel deserve 100 Stars rate definitely would recommend.
This place has become my new favorite when I'm in this area. The room was clean and very spacious with a full size refrigerator and microwave. Had a great channel selection on a good size TV. They are still doing some renovations as the new owner has taken over( he is a great guy!) and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

We were here many years ago and the property is much improved on the outside! Quite beautiful, actually! The rooms are being renovated...New mattresses and very welcoming Owners (for your first visit)!! The room is spacious with fridge and microwave that doesn't cost extra, like the good ol' days! You can't beat the price, but bring a fly swatter...they're everywhere in the rooms, and cockroach bodies behind the beds. Please clean the place!!
I had a excellent experience at this location. The staff was always polite and considerate.the 2 weeks I spent there was great especially for the price and newly remodeled rooms. Offers full size microwave and refrigerator. It was very convenient and great that they had a full size bar to relax after work. Great place and I will be back. Thanks to everyone there.
I booked a room there and I had an amazing experience! The staff were professional and courteous when handling my reservation. The rooms are newly remodeled and still currently being remodeled. Great new management! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice and comfortable stay
