At first I had a couple of difficulties about amenities and billing. I made these known and they were handled by the staff very quickly and completely. The room was good. Very good price. Very good TV, good shower, clean, quiet. All the listed amenities were supplied and good. I recommend this motel.

My review is based off of what I got for what I paid for. A clean bed and a place to stay for a very cheap price. The hotel definitely has potential if they fixed it up, but then the price per night would definitely go up. If you stayed here you obviously wanted the lowest price hotel in the area. The owner is very nice to!

This place is okay, simple, old like a vintage furniture inside. Our stayed there was okay and not that bad. The woman at the frontdesk is not rude to us, she threat us Nicely. At first, I thought she was gonna be Rude to us but She is Not Rude to us. She just kind of strict and mean, but we talked to her nicely and calmly. And She threat us back professionaly and we don't have any problem with the assistance. The Room is just little space but its okay for a little moment for Resting. The day we check in was quiet but in the middle of the night there are some customers are fighting & yelling each other but its okay for us because we just stayed there for 1 night. It's all good, the Shower room is clean also, and the toilet. The price is not bad just for a place for resting in a bit. The view is nice also. Tha weather at night is cool and perfect... I like the cheap price of the deal. This is the cheapest place that I booked in.. I can recommend this place also.

I'm rating this place based on relative expectations. The place is clean, quiet, and amenity free (I'd never use that pool unless forced at gunpoint; Come machine wouldn't work; BUT Domino's delivers). Bed was way comfier (and bigger) than I had expected. Manager is appropriately surly (YOU try that job). All in all, GREAT VALUE.

The staff is very nice and friendly. The house-keepers always came to give us towels and other things we need in the morning unlike other cheap hotels. The bed and pillows are comfy they seem brand new. The sink leaks on the counter a little and the shower water pressure is low but other than that it’s nice and clean and they have a big closet to put our stuff in and drawers which was helpful. No bugs, only a mosquito.
