    Quick service

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Motel was old and outdated. Even tho they claim that rooms were remodeled rooms still had old furniture. The Bed was OK but the pillows were old and flat. The small kitchenette had a full size fridge and microwave and some counter space. Bathroom very small and only the toilet was newer.. All rooms are facing a small courtyard. AC was newer and fully functional. Could have been cleaner.

    Nasty ass place

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The ac was strong and worked well. I enjoyed the stay. Looks shabby on the outside but it’s a good hotel I’m pleased. Shower was a little tiny but nonetheless for the price sooo worth it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The pictures dont match whats online. First glance everything looks decent however it is not. Had to kill more than a few roaches so disappointed. Will never stay there again. Only thing that was great was the staff

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Hotel was terrible, room very small with king bed(more expensive)smells awful like cigarettes,, sheets very dirty with black and yellow spots all over, we had to used our own blankets and pillows from our car because we were scared to sleep on it,, we didn’t even take showers because the tub and walls of it was so so dirty that even right now thinking about disgusting me, toilet dirty too we used toilet paper over so we can use it. Towels not wash right yellow spots all over we went to Walmart and buy new ones because of this situation. Floor was dirty too my shoes were sticking to it. I was able sleep only to 4;30 am because of the noise outside, bird’s nest right by our window. After night like that whit so many wrong things we dictate to leave this hotel early and go home and not staying there one more night.
