Booked the cheapest room just to stay the night and be on my way in the morning. The hotel was incredibly quiet despite being so close to the train tracks thanks to the cinder block walls. A clean room, comfortable bed, and a hot shower. The breakfast selection was far better than some major chain hotels. I would definitely stay again.

Decent stay for the price
Our room AC was out so they moved us to another room right away. The breakfast was good for this type of motel. Sink needs to be in the bathroom instead of across the entryway. Toilet seat has no lid to sit down when you get dressed.

Very good value for the money! A bit dated, but that’s no problem for people who want a safe and comfortable place to sleep at a reasonable price.

Stay Away
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was not clean, full of allergens, smelled terrible, and was hot. One of my friends was coughing so much, he decided to just sleep in the car. If I could give this place 0 stars, i would.
