Room is clean with recently remodeled bathroom. As good as can be expected for $45 rate. Small dogs are allowed for additional$10. Motel is few feet from relatively busy road, and you can hear trucks and loud music. Noise was not a major problem.
$318 for a week or $45 a night so the price is reasonable for what you get and it's nice and quiet and everything you would expect for the price and the lady at the front desk is very nice and willing to help you out if needed
Great atmosphere. Especially if you're staying long term. Staff accommodates all needs. Tendon before us had smoked in the room Renee did everything to assure the odor was out. Room was very clean (house keeping was awesome they even do laundry for a reasonable fee) room was a lil warm at times (stuffy) but our stay was during winter so just cracked a window. Over all i would highly recommend this place
I've stayed at this motel for years (since 2008) and the reason I've stayed is because the place is awesome, and in my opinion, easier to rent than an apartment. The rent is low and one payment a week takes care of everything pretty much. Laundry is 4 bucks a load and is simply easier and cheaper than going to the laundromat. Matt and Renee have been outstanding when it comes to service and hospitality. I truly feel like this is home compared to when I did have an apartment. This place sets some pretty high standards the others near by either can't meet, or can't meet without a high price tag. If you need a room and see "vacancy" on the sign, stop and rent it because the place fills fast.
Its a great place and familys and children are always welcome i havent been to a motel where i didnt want to bleach the floors ofnthe tub just to get in until i was here the bathrooms are clean so clean. Kids have a yard to play in set back from the road and the managers in the last few months have been amazeing. Offering laundry at 4 dollars a load wash dried and folded. There are so many good things about this place and its almost always full. Come check it out when theres an opening you wont be disappointed
It's unfortunate I didn't get to experience a stay here first hand. But Mckenzie gave outstanding customer service with all my inquiring questions. I appreciate all her knowledge and effort with trying to accommodate everything knowing the information given. She even called me back once there was open availability, without request. Good customer service is hard to come by. Thank you Mckenzie for the compassion you take over your visitors.
