Great people and great service...kinda pricy but it is memorial day weekend
Have stayed here on multiple occasions. Very nice, clean rooms.
It seemed more like apartments and it was clean inside and out as well as quiet.
Comfortable beds, nice set up. Owners are strict; but this place is not too high compared to other places.
I lived at this motel for better then 6 months, my toilet wouldn't flush for 4 and a half of those months, rooms were roach and bed bug infested toilets have hot water going into them instead of cold, plumbing is put together with gas valves, water is set my owner and you can't adjust water temperature, the gas valves prevent you from adjusting the temperature. Snakes were coming into the rooms from the unkept basement snacks in the office is 2-4 yrs outdated and unfit to be eaten. Rooms cost upwards of 1000 month. Busted septic system cost the owners 9,000.00 which they are trying to get away without paying. Green cards are in question as I'm told there Green cards are many years expired.a couple I met during my stay. Said they had 1 bed for the 2 adults but kids slept side by side on pallets on the floor, rooms are mold infested. Businesses like these pay no taxes for upwards of 15 years so profit is 100 percent. I was charged 50 more just for making a debit card payment claiming that my bank charged them that, and finally A $20 fee is charged weekly to get your mail if you dont pay it you dont get your mail. Its thrown away, have files with postal inspectors because that is a federal offense. I paid a high price for the room with wholes in the wall, non working heaters, and plenty of roaches and bed bugs, and snakes. Mold is a big problem at this motel.opening of bed had shown blood stains from bedbugs, and roach problems was apparantly ignored as well, during my stay I talked with health department, code enforcement and a building inspector as well a pesticide specialist and there recommendations was move which I did, this motel did rack up thousands of dollars in fines however. Door locks did not work. I bought what I needed at a hardware store to secure my stay. This is a half star motel and one to stay away from. They dont give receipts unless you insist on one. I had a bed that the box spring was broken and the mattress was bed bug infested I had the bed taken outside and the owner made us move it back inside threatening to call the police. So someone else could sleep on the broken bed bug infested bed. This place is gross and disgusting.
Surprisingly not too bad motel considering what others say. Learned in life never go by what anyone says. See and judge for yourself god will handle the rest even after all been through still have too keep faith. For someone has nothing and if can be lucky enough this place is affordable and overall pretty quiet and overall clean. I'd recommend.
I love this hotel.. The water is always HOT and their heater and ac work great!!!! Hotel is very clean. Highly recommend. Been here 4 times already!
Place isn't too bad If don't have much money. And don't mess with you unless not got rent paid on time. I'd recommend if low on funds and need place too stay. It's actually overall very clean and quiet.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
