Overall, my stay at this motel was decent for the price, offering clean rooms and basic amenities. While it has its shabby aspects, it served my needs without breaking the bank. The breakfast options were minimal, but I can't complain too much given the low cost. The service was a bit of a hassle due to reservation issues, but the manager was helpful in resolving them.

For a budget motel, this place offers a surprising amount of value. The rooms are clean and come with essential amenities, and the staff goes out of their way to assist. However, the breakfast is extremely basic and the overall decor could use a refresh. I was satisfied with my stay but felt there were small adjustments that could enhance the experience.

I had a surprisingly pleasant stay at this hotel, especially considering its previous reputation. The rooms were impressively clean, which made me feel at ease. The ownership team was nice, though I was a bit annoyed that early check-in wasn't allowed. Despite some minor downsides, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a decent place at a great price.

This motel provides basic accommodations at a reasonable price. The rooms were overall clean and featured essential amenities like a refrigerator and microwave, making it a decent budget choice. However, the limited breakfast options and the abrupt reservation handling were noticeable downsides. Overall, it’s a place to consider if you're just looking for somewhere to stay without frills.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the room was clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated. The Wi-Fi and cable were included, making my stay convenient. However, there were a few downsides, such as the lack of some basic amenities like hand soap and a coffee maker. Additionally, the thin walls made noise a bit of an issue. Overall, it was decent value for the price, but not without its quirks.

The room was small but clean and well-maintained. The shower was newly renovated, and the bed had comfortable sheets, though I found the mattress to be a bit uncomfortable due to a plastic liner.

I stayed at this hotel recently and was pleasantly surprised by its cleanliness and value for money, especially considering the price point. The room I got was updated and cozy, although I did have some minor issues like noise from neighboring rooms and a crinkly mattress. The service was really great, but some amenities could definitely use improvement, like coffee availability. Overall, it's a decent choice for a budget stay, but I had a terrible experience with the pool policy and a friend's visit.
