II spent about 50 nights a year in motor inns across the country. Normally, as a result of bad experiences with independent properties, I only stay in chains. This hotel/experience is causing me to rethink that! The room was exceptional value, the staff was professional and helpful, everything was clean and modern and very comfortable and all this for $60.00... More

This hotel is a nice clean hotel that is priced right. I tried the others in the area and they were not as nice and clean. I felt safe and the bed was comfortable. The night staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was good size and clean. I stayed here while doing a travel nurse assignment and would... More

We've stayed at this hotel at least a dozen times and always have an excellent experience. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and quiet, and the beds are quite comfortable. It's nothing fancy, but perfect for a good nights sleep. I would strongly recommend it!

We were very pleasantly surprised!! We picked this motel based on tripadvisor reviews and folks got it right! It's an older motel but it was very clean and the rooms were spacious. And the price was excellent! The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The motel staff were also very friendly. Just a great little motel to stop... More

Soooo clean! We have stayed here several times on our route south. This gem is nestled off the motel strip and worth finding. The rooms are fully equipped (microwave, fridge, coffee maker, etc.). Bedding is snow-white clean. There's an indoor pool and an expanded continental breakfast available in the price. It is also close to the discount shopping outlets. Lots... More

Enjoyed our recent stay. Rooms were large, conveniently furnished with "cold" mini fridge, microwave, lots of fluffy towels, clean, king size bed, low to the ground tub, powerful shower, nice pool, convenient location just off the freeway, but still quiet and "safe". AC worked well. Nice continental breakfast. Nothing quaint or luxurious - but excellent lodging at a reasonable price.... More

We attended a fastpitch tournament on Saturday/Sunday. Check-in was courteous and quick. Our room was clean and bigger than we expected. We had a refrigerator and microwave. We used the hot tub and pool and found it to be adequate. It's very near the freeway, but we did not hear the freeway noise. I would recommend this place to anyone... More
