A clean hotel, and the check-in was easy. Secured access to the rooms. Maybe a little under furnished in the rooms (only a folding chair and 1 night stand, no suitcase stand or anywhere to hang clothes), there was a refrigerator though. Great old school US highway type hotel for a night.
Disgusting. Checked into room wirh old food in fridge and spilled liquid. Given another room. Room has no desk, a metal folding chair and 2 towels. Paid $200 and not worth more than $50...if that. Stay away!
Room was clean and appeared newly renovated. Somewhat spartan; small, one folding chair for seating, bare white walls. Had refrigerator and microwave, but no coffee pot. Perfectly fine though, if you just need a place to sleep for a night or two.
Helpful and friendly staff
Centrally-located

Average room, and up keep. I was surprised that they wanted my Spouse to pay for the room. They voiced that they used my card to make the reservation. I
Prefer using a credit card once.

Hinterhofmotel in einer Gegend, von der man sich sonst lieber fernhält. Motel schon sehr alt, aber für nur eine Übernachtung okay.

Pienso que este es un motel para parejas que quieren estar por momentos o pasar un noche. Pero no es recomendable cuando andas de viaje. No me gustó mucho lo siento
Closeness to highway, no coffee/tea in room for a motel costing almost $200 a night! Bathing soap, shampoo and conditioner were flimsy and cheap, no body lotion. It is disappointing
