Cute motel that was very clean. I loved the papaya soap. There is no staff on site so you must text them to get entry instructions and leave your credit card on file. There was no place for me to park both nights so I parked across the street. The area is commercial and not very appealing. There's a big Walmart plaza directly across the street. The adjacent highway is noisy so it was difficult to sleep. I think the pricing is a bit a on the high side, and like other reviewers, I would rather have had an 11am check-out time.

Hotel was close to our event so it was convenient for us. But hotel was not what i was expecting from booking photos. I knew it was an older newly renovated motel. But seems they havnt gotten my room renovated yet. Its outdated inside. AC unit was loud, Tv barely worked. Brown Recluse spider in bathtub. Tiny parking lot. Not trying to complain, just being honest. It seemed like a safe location. Alot of food options near by. All n all it was ok for 2days.

Enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay. Only negative thing I’d have to say is the check in time is way too late and the check out time is way too early. Both are very inconvenient.
