We actually ended up not staying, we arrived in the evening, the area around hotel appears to be scatchy, the hotel looked abandoned, there was only one car in the parking lot, we circled the hotel and three quarter of the property appeared to be abandoned, overall we didnt feel safe enough to even check in

Well Lit, Clean Property Excellent For One Night
This is a fantastic place to stay for males staying solo and on the cheap. I wouldn’t recommend families or couples at least for over one night simply because there is very little to do or offer those in the immediate vicinity, the pool was also not open during our visit in May, 2024. There is no breakfast offered at this property, and that’s fine but just be aware. Also, if you’re looking to jog the surrounding parts, I would not recommend. The place is brilliantly lit throughout the property at night. I’ve never, ever seen such a bright motel parking lot or exterior in my life. It’s like daytime out there at night. Excellent blackout curtains so none of it seeps into the room. The room is total darkness if you want it that way. The room is fabulous. The room is a total ten. The room itself, the bathroom, cleanliness, very, very, very clean. The only bad thing about the room, is a king size bed comes with three teeny-tiny pillows.. That’s great for one occupant. Couples, families? You’d better bring some of your own pillows. As previously stated, I think for any situation this is a decent one night stay. Multiple nights might cause boredom and inconvenience. This place is not close to any of the action. But the front desk is super friendly. The property interior and exterior is spotless and the rooms are updated. And again, this place is lit up like an offshore oil rig at night. If I’m a dude on a budget here for a few days, this is your spot

Comfortable stay. Newly renovated motel. Not the nicest neighborhood, but, bed was comfortable and linen was clean. Bath tub was rusted, but, we stood on towel so as not to stand directly on rust. Very good price and clean enough for a single night on a road trip.
