    The smell of Indian ?

    Good value for money and convenient location The room had a very strong, unpleasant smell that didn’t go away - all our clothes absorbed it. The sink was cracked, and the door didn’t close properly, leaving a visible gap to the outside. We asked to change rooms due to this, but were refused, even though other rooms appeared available. The heater was also very loud during the night. Overall, the stay was not comfortable

    The shower leaked, the bed was hard, and the remote only controlled the cable box. I had to get up and shutoff the TV from behind it

    For the price was expecting much lower level - room was squeeky clean, and everything about the room was great for a good nights sleep while on the road./ only 1 pillow on each bed

    I stayed there over a month ago so the details are a little fuzzy (I've been road tripping a lot recently so I've seen a bunch of rooms during the past few weeks.). My memory was that it was updated and clean. It's a motel, so don't expect the four seasons, but they did a good job with what they have. I had no complaints. The price was low... around 60 bucks for a thurs night stay. The girl who checked me in was very sweet. I travel with a trailer and they were very accommodating. Due to weather I decided to spend another night. Like I said, the details are sketchy but I do remember liking this place enough that I did not delete it from my GPS in case I need a place to stay in the area again.

    Exterior of building was worn, room was ok and what would be expected at this price point. There were few amenities…no hair dryer, no Kleenex. Wi-Fi worked easily.

    This property is a smaller motel with not many amenities at all.

    The price was right but you get what you pay for. The room was very clean and overall comfortable. However, there were only 2 pillows for a queen size bed and the room had no cups or glasses. I probably could have gone to the office and requested these items but felt that they should have been provided. There was a microwave and refrigerator which were nice conveniences.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff. Allowed me an early check-instead of having to wait for 3PM...on a VERY hot day...room was clean and icy cold!!
