What a nice surprise! This is a solid example of how a local motel can be. The woman at reception was very nice, got me checked in and got me to a room quickly. The room was small, but well equipped. Clean and comfortable. I'd be happy to stop here again, if traveling here.Updated: A second stay had some friction at check in, but the manager (same nice lady as first visit) quickly sorted it out in the morning and demonstrated how much she really cares about the location. I'd love to stay here again.

I decided to bring my 87 year-old dad to check out the Safari Park (he had a great time!), and this little motel was the perfect place to stay. We booked same day... The room is nice, wamr, comfy beds, no frills with a surprisingly spacious bathroom. The best part of our experience was working with Priya! She was just so sweet and accommodating, to ensure we would have the best experience. When I shared my dad has difficulty walking, she set us up with a ground floor room near the office. In this day and age when customer service has gone out the window, it is great to see how some businesses truly care about their guests! Thank you!

Only spent the night. The room had a modern feeling with a good bathroom and decent towels.

Honestly, we chose this motel because it was five minutes from the home of the relative we were visiting. It's no-frills, but we didn't mind as its very affordable.The room had a king bed, and was clean and comfortable. A few of the accent lights seemed to have wiring problems and flickered on and off at times.The bathroom and shower were very clean, but the bathroom door was hung slightly crooked and dragged on the floor. We let the staff know this.Also, I'd suggest bringing your own toiletries like shampoo, their containers are super-tiny. There is a nice hair dryer. The LED light around the mirror is good for applying makeup.Our room had two small refrigerators and a microwave so we could keep some snacks in the room. There is no table and chairs in the room like some hotels, but there is a countertop that can be used as a desktop and a metal chair that is pretty low. It wouldn't be great if you had to do a lot of work on a laptop.The staff was very nice and helpful. There were a lot of guests, but no one was raucous. The main noise we heard was the beeping of automatic car door locks outside our window .The pool looked nice but we did not use it.We would definitely return.Food & drinks: There is a burger place right next door, very convenient.

Great hotel. The rooms are nicely set up and have plenty of power outlets. The wifi is fast enough to make a video call if needed, and the shower is tall enough for a tall person and has good pressure.

I had a terrible experience with a hotel in the area. I needed a place to stay after work and wanted to check in early, but they refused and said they didn't have any available rooms. They suggested that I find another hotel, and when I asked for a refund, they promised a manager would contact me. However, I never received a call. I contacted the booking website I used, and one of their customer representatives contacted the hotel manager. the manager declined the cancellation and refund! When I called the hotel's office to discuss the situation further, someone answered the phone after several attempts. I explained the problem, but the person on the other end was very rude and hung up on me. It was an unprofessional experience that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed.

Rooms clean and decent. Unfortunately, located next (15ft away) to a huge construction area at the moment and therefore very noisy very early in the morning.Parking lots not inviting. Solicited by rather drunk guests.No breakfast opportunity.

Husband and I stayed for one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The motel appears kinda sketchy but our room was clean and a great size. The positive reviews were spot-on! The man who checked us in (forgot his name but he's a bald white guy) was super helpful.One downside is that it's not super close to shops and restaurants, so prepare to drive around. Overall, we enjoyed our stay ?

we live local (about 45 mins away) but needed a night away from the house (roommate and kids) got a descent rate and would definitely stay here again. room was clean, had a tv and microwave, front desk staff was nice, and our a/c wasn't noisy (saw in a review someone's was) the pool is smaller than some but was very nice, as were the grounds (clean and well kept) I would recommend staying on the top floor. we were ground level and could sometimes hear noises from upstairs (not sex, thank goodness...lol) nothing that kept us awake tho. location is nice, very central to lots of places and easy to get to and find. not sure why they are rated as a 2 star hotel?? maybe I just don't know what the rating is in reference to. oh, I forgot the best part, the pictures in our room were of beautiful scenery.

The room was clean and affordable, when I finally got it. But the check in experience was the worst I've ever experienced.

I been coming to this hotel for several years. I believe since 2016. Always book through Priceline app and never issues. Rooms very clean.. new furniture.. usually tv works. I checked in last week on Wednesday. I was asked if I would by myself or have a guest. I said I would be alone . Then was told absolutely no guest! I tell people to rent here because it is nice and usually laid back . I had been at local burger bar next door enjoying some drinks and food. A friend of mine needed to talk to me over girl problems and said cruz over . I have had guests about every stay weather I checked in with them or invited them later on . It has been never a problem . I receive 3 calls saying no guest and explaining they are needing to vent and get advice . Each time threatening to hold my 100 dollar security deposit. I never damage a room for any reason . I even clean up after myself and throw trash away and room is clean. I think it's not a good reason to hold a 100 deposit over a visitor and room was only 71. Unless that 100 ends up back in my account I will make sure to never bring my business to this place and never recommend it to anyone that doubted this place before. I never been to motels nice as this with issues like not allowed to have one. Return my 100 or I keep it as 1 star it so deserves.
