I was surprised by the comfort and quality offered by this rather unassuming looking hotel. The rooms are reasonably priced. It is across the street from Walmart and a gas station and shares a parking lot with a mexican restaurant. So this is great for travelers! It is a small hotel and is not part of a chain, so it is best to call ahead to check for room availability if you have not made reservations.
The lady at the desk was very nice and she really helped me out in my situation I was in and did her best to accommodate me also the housekeeper (Tiffany) was super nice and always made sure I had everything I needed that the motel offered. Tiffany is a great housekeeper!
Clean rooms, good service. I didn't appreciate housekeeping knocking at 9:30. I didn't complain because we were leaving before check-out anyway. However, had we decided to sleep a little longer, I would have been more upset about the interruption. Check-in was easy. Water pressure is great. The air conditioning unit had a remote control, which was nice. No microwave with a king room?? Ok. The fridge was clean. Few flaws but I will definitely stay again. There is no way to reserve online. Offers semitruck parking.
