Great staff peace an quiet place if your going through things to relax . Affordable rate.
Staff is nice and courteous, rooms are clean and the price is right! Great location.
The staff/management were wonderful they were very accommodating. The place is being revamped. Quiet clean rooms no riff raff as in the past. Only charge 10 a pet. No bed bugs no roaches. Price is like 1/2 of what other motels ib the area charge. Really helped out during our move. Check them out,
We stayed in room 125 and pay fifty bucks that included me my boyfriend and my dog and we are pleased with our stay. The room was clean there was no roaches , bed was comfortable, and the heat works. staff was friendly when we got up in the morning everybody wave hey and said bye to us as we left. When we asked him about the weekly rates for saying he give us a great price and also showed us another room he called better. All in all great service decent room for the price and pet fees only $5. We were very happy we got what we paid for that was all we asked thanks and we will definitely stay again.
Perfectly priced when looking for affordable room for a night or two
