“Nice and very friendly.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2010

people found this review helpful

Stayed here for two days while my boyfriend and I were homeless, and the lady was very nice. She even attempted to find us an apartment by contacting some of her friends. The rooms themselves were very nice for the money, having a fridge and microwave. We got the two bed room, and I don't know if it was because one appeared to not have been slept in to the maid, but one of the beds had a weird brown stain on it. Besides that, the shower was AMAZING, with a really nice shower head. The room was large and comfortable, and they offered free internet which was nice for us. I would most definitly stay again.

“One of my favorites.”

I've stayed here several times and consider it one of the best independent motels going. Always clean with everything necessary and then some. And excellent value, too.

“Reasonable Price, But Too Many Pets Have Been Here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2007

My family stayed here one night on the first leg of a long highway trip. The staff (at 1 am) was friendly and helpful. The motel holds itself out as pet-friendly - this comes at a cost. My wife is allergic to pet hair and our room triggered her response. Otherwise, this was a nice motel - comes complete with microwave and refridgerator - which is more than some of it's more pricey competitors can say.
