Nightly rate was comparable to the motel 6 and super 8 close by; however, what sets this place apart from those other motels is that as a single woman I actually felt safe here. I felt safe parking my car here and getting a good nights rest. The cleanliness is far better than I expected and aside from the location right off a busy street it’s peaceful and quiet.

The rooms are basic but clean. The variery on TV channels compared to to most is superior. It's not the best location but still because of closed in parking lot (only one way in or out) on doot or vehicle you can at ease about yourself and your car so you can sleep easy. Surrounding are has some noise but its surprisingly quiet in this little enclave. There are some really fun bars within walking distnce. The one thing thats off putting is the uce maker us two doors down and on the second floor as well as the complimentary breakfast again basic. But overall and for the price you really cant do better then this one.

Staff seemed friendly

Bedding was disgusting. Looked like the top blankets have never been cleaned. Stains everywhere. Sheets had shoe marks on them… saw atleast 5 cockroaches….very uncomfortable stay.
