The pictures hide the gas station and the room had hair on the sheets and hair in the bath tub. Floors were dirty as well.

Staff was great and friendly. They were in the process of remodeling the lobby so check-in was out of a back room, but quick and painless. Rooms were clean with the exception of a couple hairs in the bed sheets. As someone who works for a major hotel chain I can tell the sheets were washed so it has to be the laundry service they use leaving hairs behind. Breakfast was a to-go bag of fruit and granola bars and access to a small coffee station. Property is on the same lot as a gas station with a small convenience store. It’s definitely convenient but you also get the noise of cars pulling in and out. Definitely getting what you pay for here but I’d do it again all things considered.

Certainly! Here’s your updated review with the mention of the quiet atmosphere: ⸻ The young man who checked us in was very kind and friendly. As a single mom traveling with my child, I felt safe staying here, which meant a lot. I appreciated the lawn chairs outside, as well as the large trash and recycling bins conveniently located every few doors down. Another bonus was the 24-hour gas station and market within easy walking distance. While it’s an older motel, the rooms were clean and came with nice, fluffy towels. The area was quiet, making it easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep. If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a good option.

Affordable and not to far from all of the action

The only complaint I have is that there was not a stopper for the bathtub. Not a huge deal, would have rather sat in some hot water for a while after a 7 hour drive but I'm not that picky. Despite the condition of the area, I had and overall great experience.

Excellent place to stay

My husband and I spent the night after attending a wine anniversary party and felt the room was very nice and clean. Checking in with Raul, he was so pleasant so nice and so friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only downside was we had loud people above us.

Good property to stay at just to rest and go exploring in surrounding areas. Staff was kind and nice enough to give us food recommendations and things to do. Clean. Comfy beds. Not a bad area either. All in all I would book again if I come back.
