Been here over a year...and the owner is working very hard to keep the place clean and safe..rooms aren't perfect.. but what place is without paying an arm and leg..Working are to keep the place clean and quiet also
Friendly rooms are clean and very affordable for the area.
Visited a friend here...had a great time! Met some nice people and did some laundry. No shelter for us smokers tho :(
I've never once seen any kind of bugs there at all what so ever and for you to post lies is really uncalled for Teresa Goodman Walter's and was very uncalled for to talk about someone's kid calling them mentally ill when she has never done any of them lies you posted about her nor her mom Brenda. Brenda's daughter is a sweet girl and Brenda is a nice person I've known for many years and the owner is a good guy as well so for you to post lies all because he kicked you out obviously for reasons and then to post lies is ridiculous. Oh yeah Teresa Goodman Walter's if this was so called true then why was you there for so long if that's the case cause it's not true. Tell the truth of why your mad because you got kicked out cause they are bug free. Have a nice day and stop posting negative stuff that's lies.
Me and my family was living here for a while they are awesome people I would tell everyone to go stay there I have no complaints about this place
Well my wife and I are currently staying in room 25, we have been here for 2 nights now and not one bedbug bite or any kind of bug bite in fact! The room is clean, the bathroom faucet is backwards, but no big deal, the heat and air work great, owners whether read English or not are very friendly and professional, they are helpful and if you need anything cleaned they get to it right away, affordable especially when you are in the middle of moving! No roaches either, there is some late night traffic but hey, IT'S A MOTEL! ADJUST!
Rooms r redone nice but no tv n they still charged the same price
Nice place to Stay very nice owners, better than Ramada Inn
With the new owners and "ALL" the work they had put into this hotel has really made a "HUGH" difference. Rooms are all redone and has that homey felling. Prices are very fair and the owners are "AWSOME". So if you're looking for a place that feels like home and don't want to spend a lot of money this is the place to be... so come on down and feel at home
Very clean, quiet, remodeled rooms, extremely great prices. Satellite tv, Wifi. Was pleasantly surprised that King room has small refrigerator and microwave. I saw no bugs anywhere whatsoever.
