Room was what is expected at this price point and location. One thing to note - we booked a one king bed room that was said to sleep 3. In the photo there was an upholstered chair next to the bed which we assumed was a single fold out bed. Nope! Thankfully, as we were 2 adults and a 7 year old we all shared the bed with no issues, but the story would have been very different if it was 3 adults!

Simple hotel. Staff was nice. Hotel was clean. It was a bit dated. For the money, that's to be expected. Not much to look at in the area. Easy drive to food and drinks. Only 10 mins away from the stadium.

There was mold on the ceilings. Even after switch rooms. The smell of mold and mildew made me puke repeatedly. I tried to check out before attending my brother's army graduation and no body would answer the front desk. I called and no one answered. I checked out early because I couldn't stomach the place and now I can't get ahold of anyone for a refund. This place is horrible and needs closed down! It's a health hazard!!!157.00 for what? Making me sick? Stay away!

OK for the price
Lobby is blocked off & you only see staff thru a window & a small open slot underneath. Room was big & clean, but outside of motel was not as clean. After things got quiet about 10 P. M., everything was fine. Staff was courteous

Concerning, but a good stay
It was a bit hidden. Area looks questionable, but overall, for a cheap one night place to stay, it was okay. Free on site parking. Microwave and fridge. I was going to put food in fridge, BUT it was not plugged in and had MOLD inside. Not sure why there is a sheet over the couch. I did not want to find out either. Bathroom had a smell. The plus side is for the price and condition (my toom was not bad outside of the fridge), there was AC, and NO ROACHES OR BUGS in my room. Yay for that!!! I was traveling solo. Was left alone by other guests.
