For what you pay it's an awesome place to lay your head at night. The owner is awesome always took care of my needs as soon as requested. If your looking for some where comfortable and cheap to sleep I definitely recommend.
Comfortable bed and great selection of channels on TV.
This place wasn’t fancy, but was perfect for my needs. I’m sick of having to schlepp my stuff up a couple of motel floors where I can’t see my car, especially when it’s loaded for a long trip. Parked right next to A clean simple room; tv and WiFi were fine and I liked the Indian family running the place. Bed and shower were fine too.
This motel is run by a family, it is the warmest friendly place I have been to in my travels throughout the US. The staff is just great the place is a really small area for parking however it works it's quiet and restful. I am in town on business and the other motels are way out of price for this area at least twice as much as 4 star hotels I have stayed at in major cities of Austin and Houston and even LA. The mines ongoing work dictate the cost of rooms these big chain motels are cashing in very good. But this place is right on with price and I guarantee you here is much better service than the others.
