It was sufficient for us since we were passing through, but the area was questionable. The pool was a disaster. We didn't have hot water, but the helpful desk mgr told us the hot and cold controls were probably switched and, thankfully, that solved the issue.

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues

Don’t recommend

Check in was easy. Staff was nice. Not in the greatest part of town. The back part of the building that you can see from the highway looks super sketchy. The floor on the tub was peeling, vents were rusted. Picture on the tv was not good. I wouldn’t stay with kids but it was just my husband and I that needed a place to sleep after a concert.

Black Mold was found on the ceiling all over. I did tell the front desk, I wasn’t going to write a review, but I have to warn others. Only booked it because it was fairly cheap. I stayed for one night out of nine.

The place is sketch. Started with being greeted by the staff behind bullet proof glass. Walked into the room which stunk and the top sheet had a burn hole right on top. That’s as far as we made it in the room and then we left and booked a different spot elsewhere.
