Overnight stay-perfect spot
This is the second time we have chosen to stay at this motel, and our experience has been positive once again. The gentleman at the front desk is exceptionally approachable and friendly, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. I appreciated that when I inquired about the possibility of checking in a bit earlier than the standard time, he was accommodating and granted my request without any hesitation. While I wouldn’t describe this motel as perfect—it certainly has its quirks—it is a great option for those looking for a budget-friendly place to stay. The rooms are consistently clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus. Overall, given its affordability and the level of service we received, I definitely recommend it for anyone seeking a reliable and economical lodging option.

The Price is Right
Hard bed, faulty light in bathroom sink area and noisy, are the only faults. It is perfectly located and the staff is very friendly.

Wonderful Budget Friendly Hotel
Needed a quick place to stay on our trip. Decided on this budget friendly hotel and was pleasantly surprised! This is a wonderful little gem. Staff were friendly. Check in and out was easy. The room was clean with a nice size fridge and microwave. AC worked great. The beds were a little too firm for my liking and blankets were thin. I always bring extra blankets.

Two things I didn't like if your riding a motorcycle make sure to park at the end because people will park way to close for comfort or even double park and still be to close .. The animal friendly is a awesome thing but when someone has a puppy and leaves it alone of course it won't stop barking so that sucked really early in the am

My family and I have been going to this place through the last five years. This month when we went there, I couldn’t believe how dirty the rooms were. The bathroom walls were not wipe down. There was dirt in the corners. The floor had not been swept mopped. The towels were so small. We had to use our beach towels to dry off. The breakfast we went early like 30 minutes after they opened their stock was not even full people what happened to wait in line or they had to leave because it was hardly any breakfast. And the breakfast was Texas shape pancake, which they had to make the pancake batter. Every table was dirty. I had to clean the table just to sit down. Upon arrival it smelt like a skunk, but it wasn’t the skunk smell, and that was coming out of the faculty laundry room. And was sad is my best friend and I spend every year down there on our birthdays at this place. Now we’ll have to look for another place and I clean rooms for a living. In this one wouldn’t even get a half a star. And they have not clean the AC units. It was very dirty beyond disgusting.
