Solid value for a motel. If you like fancy then a hotel is what you're looking for. Photos are the view from the entrance to my room.
This place is awesome! Don’t let the exterior fool you. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, bathrooms are nice with amazing water pressure. Was definitely worth taking a chance on.
Friendly staff, clean rooms, reasonable rates, comfortable beds, and good water pressure - everything a weary traveller needs. Best of all, they allow pets! We will definitely be staying here again!
Very clean, friendly helpful service. GREAT water pressure. Surprisingly quiet for being on the main road. Would definitely stay again. Beds were AMAZING!
Clean, quiet, working AC, friendly staff. What more do you need from a motel? The beds were comfortable, the TV worked. Pretty purple flowers all over outside. Clean and nice, highly recommended.
Clean, comfy rooms with friendly staff. Don't let the aged outside appearance fool you! they are in the midst of updating rooms slowly but surely. I'd have given 5 stars but the price is a little much for such a dated hotel. We stayed here twice in the past week over a long weekend. It can be a little noisy at night depending on traffic since the hwy runs right out front but the convenience of restaurants (like BP) within walking distance and A&W (breakfast) next door along with gas station across the street can't be beat.
Jay Leno is the best, what a great upstanding guy. Nice hotel
Very nice and clean. Great service. I would stay there anytime
