Super old place needing a few updates. That said/ it was super clean and the owner was a nice guy. A little overpriced maybe for no coffee maker, breakfast, etc. if you can snag a room for $80-$100 probably a decent value.

Don’t pass this by because it’s a motor motel or because it’s reasonably priced! This was the cleanest, most spacious room we’ve had while traveling across America and back!! Great bed, super clean, plenty of room to place your bags, great shower! We will definitely stay here again when passing through!

This is an older property. Everything looks tired and worn, although clean. Our room was fairly spacious with adequate furniture and a good bed. Unfortunately, the A/C had an odd odor and couldn't keep up with the Texas July heat. Maybe summer is not the best time to come here. Also, something to consider for light sleepers: the train tracks go literally right behind the property, with freight trains going through all night.
