For a budget motel, this is a good one. Clean, very polite staff and newly refinished rooms. The beds were very comfortable. Some people might not like that train tracks run directly behind the building. This motel also has exterior stairs and hallways.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

It is a motor inn, not a 3-5 star hotel, but that being said, the rooms are good size, bathroom works well, the AC/heat is typical for any hotel, there is plenty of parking right near your door, the beds are clean and comfortable, the neighbor is as safe as any, and they throw in a breakfast sandwich with coffee each morning of your stay. So, for the price, I think it is a very good value.
