"The room was clean, and the front desk agent was very nice. We stayed a night here on the way to Phoenix from OR, and we liked it enough to stay again on the way home. The price was right too! The only change I would recommend would be an ICE machine somewhere around our building. Otherwise, a great night place to stop when traveling."

"Not your average motorist hotel Donโ€™t let the facade fool you. It looked run down due to the age of the property but it was well kept. Check-in was a breeze We were greeted by a really nice lady And she handed us the room key Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a really clean room. The space was perfect to get a good nightโ€™s sleep. Bed was nice and firm and the sheets were clean. I inspected them The bathroom was spacious and had the basics - shampoo/conditioner, bar soap - plus there was a small upright fridge/freezer plus a microwave. Cable TV was a bonus."
