For the money that I paid for the room I got way more than expected. I just needed to sleep 2-3 hours to take a break while driving long distance and didn’t want to spend to much for unnecessary conditions, however I was pleased to be welcomed by a friendly staff, easy check in, clean place, fridge in the room, Wi-Fi, AC, and bed was pretty comfortable.

wasnt expecting much but first night checked in and i had to swat 10+ flies. had there not been the flies i woulda thought ok and not be compelled to write this mid review. also they had complimentary waffles but no syrup no butter, nothing. just a plain waffle. and some “coffee” with no cups to use just had to use the small shot glass size cups used for the waffle batter.

The first room was moldy and smelled of urine. We asked for it to be cleaned and the front desk gave us a different room. This one was clean but bedspreads had tears and holes in them. The beds were moderately comfortable and the air conditioner was operational and quiet.

Ok this place is so worth the buck- 2am breakfast (it really does start at that time). I got up at 6am made waffles with syrup, cappuccino vanilla flavored, and orange juice. The room has good size space -2 beds. I COULDN'T HEAR THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC AT ALL!!! If you normally travel this way please listen to me it's worth what you pay and more! It's so affordable I can't stress this and yeah it's not some fancy place, but you stay here at the best rate just to lay your head for a couple nights your good!- This review is for the seasoned travelers on a budget.

This is a real basic hotel for the traveler. It's cheap and No frills. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. I've stayed here many times, probably four or five times a year. I haven't had any major issues.
