The rooms are big bathrooms are really big the only thing I didn’t like was smaller bathrooms but overall it was pretty good for the price if they’d work with ppl that stayed longer but didn’t have all money upfront paid daily then it’d be much better but they handled that kinda crappy

The front desk staff were very kind, helpful, and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. The area outside was a little rough, but there's honestly not much they can do about that. We only needed a place to stay for the night and we were comfortable staying there.

Rooms were not cleaned in days specially the bathroom floors (I end up cleaning the floor with a few wet towels), sheets were changed and the beds were comfortable, staff were friendly, but they could do so much. Rooms need remodeling, especially the bathroom as the faucets were hardly working despite of good water pressure.

This hotel was perfect to accommodate our needs, we are currently on a roadtrip from central Texas thru the west coast. The manager was on point ensuring safety and organization. Cleaning could be done better in the bathroom windowsill but that’s the only thing I found worth mentioning. Great motel!!
