It was areally nice place to stay. Yes, is was a little old and run down, but thats what i expected before I rented the place. The room was much bigger than i thought it would be, and it was (at least in my opinion) even bigger than the picture made it look. I highly recommend this place, especially if you dont care about the amenities that hotels have and/or you're not planning on being there much of the day.

Very basic motel - no blow dryer, no coffee cups, no coffee maker. Room needs some maintenance. BUT, nice lady at office, lots of hot water, good heater (noisy, but good), comfy bed, quiet area.
Overall: I think it's worth paying 10-20$ more to stay at a different place but this motel is good value if you're in a bind.
I stayed here from 11/9-11/13. I appreciate the low price for the room (58$/night) and i understand it's a 2 star motel, but I do wish the room was thoroughly inspected and cleaned before I checked in.
I booked through Expedia and somehow was not charged a deposit, but i learned the motel charges $100 deposits usually, so I am wondering why the room had others trash left behind when I arrived. There was food in the freezer, no microwave plate in the dirty microwave, things left under the bed. The motel does offer housekeeping upon request but I just sent a email with pictures and let it be until I checked out. I'd rather it just not have been left there in the first place.
I do appreciate that the bed was made and clean and the room smelled good. Also that Cable worked, heat and cooling worked. The staff walking in on me and my guest one morning thinking it was our check out day was not great, but i understand mistakes happen. There was a wheel missing on the bed frame, there was also a sharp wire sticking out near the base of the bed, by the wheel, that I cut my arm on while cleaning. Also some mystery pills inside of the heater they were red I am thinking maybe someone's pain pills left behind.
It was quiet. the other guests keep to themselves
Most of the outlets didn't work. Huge stain on the nasty carpet. Uncomfortable beds. Worst soap and shampoo in the cheapest tiny package. Massive drywall cracks in the ceiling that appear to have been caulked by someone with zero skills. Never again. Pay the extra $10 and stay somewhere else.
My first room smelled terribly of cigarettes so I complained so they gave me a new room. The staff was nice and very apologetic but overall it just felt dirty and the exterior is pretty run down.
The windows that were crack and the roots melt terrible. I have to go buy Lysol wipes to wipe everything that toilet. I didn’t even took a shower because it was disgusting.

The microwave was really nice- so was the bed.
All in all, I'd say it was above average for a hotel room.
Only shame was that the table was too short to comfortably work on a laptop for someone of my height. And the wifi was spotty in the mid morning and early evening.
But for the price, it's a great location.
Unless you can’t afford a better place don’t stay here. No plugs by bed lamp on bed table that you can’t plug in. No hangers lots of perfume to cover smells
Bed was comfortable
Very old run down
Don’t take your other here
Dirty and run down. The outside is a dump, the rooms are not clean at all. Wasn’t offered WIFI by the miserable woman that runs the place. Will never go back.

I didn't expect much given the price but that's okay. It did have a small frig & microwave which we used. No coffee maker though. The beds (2) were clean and comfortable. There was a table and 2 chairs so we could eat in the room The Wi-Fi was good however when checking in they didn't tell me the access password and I didn't think of asking. In the end I just asked another person staying there. There was a bright street light outside but the curtains blocked it no problem. The TV seemed just fine. There was no fan in the bathroom but a window did the job. The shower was a tub and wall complete unit. It felt safe to stand in without fear of slipping. The water was hot enough with a good flow. I would definitely bring my own soap and shampoo. It would be nice if they added a wall hook or two in the bathroom. There was a cabinet with a clothes pole but no hangers. No breakfast provided but big deal, with what we saved we had more than enough for a great I-Hop breakfast. It seemed pretty full yet we didn't hear noise from others. Near the airport but didn't hear airplane noise.
The area felt safe. I would use it again.
