This was my third time staying here. Its not the best kept place, but the rooms seem clean. Usually quiet. Plenty of gas stations and fast food restaurants around. Like a mile west is a walmart and more food options. Theirs plenty of options, even within walking distance. Its 3 floors high, but they do have an elevator. Last time i was there, i tried a vending machine, but it didnt work. The heaters in the room work good in the the winter time. Dont really remember, but i believe the showers have been decent. Only once did i have an issue with someone being loud in the halls. I do use this place for solo business trips. For a family traveling, i dont know if id stay here. Would i honestly stay with my kids, probably not. Their has to be a better place nearby more family oriented/friendly. They do not include anything for breakfast, but most of these cheaper places are skimping on that anymore. If youre lucky to find cereal and toast, youre lucky anymore.

Keep the light on for me

This is the motel everyone goes to party. Even young kids and older adults. It could be cleaner, it wouldnt hurt if they up dated there room, and put some fresh paint on the walls, the beds were descent, the pillows were to thin. The bathroom was to small.

You can do better than this place.

Nobody at front desk EVER. Checked me into the wrong room. The room was empty. Screaming in the hallway all night. Doors slamming. Bedding was basically 2 sheets. I could go on and on. Let’s just say this was the worst place I have ever stayed. Complete trash from start to finish.

This is my first and probably last time staying at this place. It's has a cold institutional feel as though some silly eastern black country back in the '80s Cold war tried to create a college dormitory and they came up with some place that was mixed between mental institution and halfway house.. In any event it's depressing it's cold feeling it's not inviting You can hear couples arguing up and down the hall babies crying It was cheap I got all the discounts been done and I paid less than $30 and that's a good deal but I'm going forward I'm going to pay more than $30 and find someplace that feels a little bit more homey and warm.
