New owners ..have cleaned the place up quite a bit and are trying to better this place ...still has some issues with bugs but all and all I believe they are really working to clean this place
The only bad thing about this is there location cuz if u don't have a vehicle thn u have 2 walk kinda far to the grocery store or to the laundry mat
They really did an outstanding job remodeling the place and the people who operate the motel are extremely nice!!
This is what you are looking for when you go to a budget inn. Basic motel accommodations, sketchy people up alllll night, nice Indian people; warm and fuzzy vibes. You can walk to the bar in twenty minutes or just stay and party with the wierdos who live there.
I love this place. The owners are very nice. It is a little outdated and they are long overdue for new linens and towels but I brought my own so no concern to me. I feel safe and comfortable here and I love the location.
Good cheap place to stay awesome customer service couldn't ask for a better place to stay
The managers are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and it's quiet. I'll stay there next time I'm in the area
The owners were very helpful and nice. The price of the room was reasonable and you get your deposit back when you check out. The rooms are clean, the bed was comfortable and I slept well there. I highly recommend it to others.
