I requested the first floor as I have problem going up stairs . He gave us right beside a busy street and you can hear all the noises. Internet was poor. The good thing is 7eleven is right across the street and other stores and restaurants. Place is clean and will stay in this motel again

Besides the pimps, prostitutes, people smoking weed on the balcony, and the 1990’s computer desk chair positioned at the vanity, everything was fine.

wonderful owners & great location

i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel room - especially the bathroom!! additionally the owners were dealing with a really difficult customer for a long time and they always held their composure and were kind even when the customer wasn’t granting them any understanding of the situation. also super helpful that 7-11 was right across the street!!

Not bad for a one night stay. But cold showers didn’t help either. And the location of our room we could hear the cars driving by.
