What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Very poor service. my mom stay here I know it’s a motel. I was only visiting here & he charged my mother 30 to get a receipt after paying for leaving here. Horrible customer service very rude & racist towards us as black individuals. I will be calling Coperate and would like for this to be handled ASAP. He is handling the customers as slaves & black. White & brown. I know that people have bad days but. I have a 11 month year old and I understand that it’s rules and regulations but, you will not missed treat people who are investing in your business. On this holiday. My sister service this country & I’m unpleasant on how we were treated on this day! Please handle this situation ASAP!!!”
“This motel is in a quiet area . It’s less than 5 mins from stores like cvs and it has a lot of food stores you can shop from as well as restaurants all within less than a mile radius . The services are awesome and the customer car is great . Parking space is big as well. Simply put, everything works! Keep up the good work !”
“Never had any problems with this hotel. The guys that run it are very down to earth and hospitable people. The rooms themselves aren’t dirty, or bedbug filled like some of these other reviews stated. It’s a quiet environment here and peaceful. There is WiFi, security cameras galore, fenced in area, and one of the coolest novelty experiences in having actually deadbolt keys to the rooms, just like back in the days. Those digital keycards suck anyway, you never have to reprogram these keys. Lol I’ve never had bad experiences here, and I think I’m qualified to say so, being that I’ve only stayed at this place like 12-15 days out of the past month. Keep up your good work. Very respectable gentlemen in charge here.”
“Just checked in about 30 minutes ago and it already felt like home. Gentleman that works here at night was very:helpful,nice,funny,helpful,and amazing. Looking forward to my stay here,would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
“It was cool for a spur of the moment rest. Update the face towels, they were raggedy. Lay some nonskid tub stickers for safety, they don't coat much. Bed linen was clean. I would use again.”
