Skip it unless you have to
This was just barely acceptable as a place to lay my head for the night. Run down, threadbare, out of the way motel with nothing to recommend it or the town it was located in. Staff were reasonably friendly but the property felt unsafe and was certainly unpleasant. They seemed to be doing their best but I only stayed because I had been driving all day and had paid a nonrefundable price.

Staff and check in were quite pleasant. The room we ended up in was a mess. Keep the lights off. Would stay again though. Location is easy peasy and near lots of good snacking. Everything on this strip has highway noise, so dont excpect beauty sleep. Price is right for a bed on a long haul

I reserved a room with 2 queen beds. When I arrived they said they didn’t have any. I was traveling with my husband and 2 children so I needed the 2 beds. I said I had to find another hotel and when I asked for a refund they said I would have to go through Expedia. Expedia contacted them to confirm this and they denied my refund. I’ve had to go through the HUGE inconvenience of finding a new hotel at the last minute and have now spent over an hour dealing with Expedia only for them to deny my refund

We stayed in a room facing the highway. Very loud. The breakfast area was out of most items that they normally have. We stay here regularly, but this time they disappointed us a little. Staff was great!

Beds made lot of sound even if moved a bit. Shower doesn’t work and it leaks drop by drop. Fridge is dummy. As it is on the road side there is lot of vehicle sound. Breakfast has cereals, coffee, waffle.
