Easy stay
I wish there were more places like this: a cheap basic motel that is safe. The windows are new, so it is quiet. The on-site manager was very friendly.

We had booked a room with 2 queen beds. On arriving at the property we were pleasantly surprised that it comprised of two connected rooms each with a queen bed. The young guy at the reception was very amicable and helpful.

We stayed there for 2 nights and had no problem finding the motel or parking the car. The rooms were much bigger than shown in the pictures with more beds and additional rooms, and the staff was friendly.
We booked 2 rooms and both were quite out fashioned with very little furniture other than the bed. Additionally especially the bathroom was very dirty with

The owners/hosts are super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and well-stocked. It was recently remodeled and has a microwave, refrigerator, and TV.
The AC worked, and the showers were hot with good water pressure. The bed was comfortable.
Overall, it was a positive experience at a great price. Thank you!
