This motel was very nice. The front end staff was a little rude at first but everyone else was great. It was quiet had alot of charging ports and it was very clean. There was all sorts of good shopping around and it was easy to get to.

Room was clean and seemed to be somewhat updated, though not for comfort. All surfaces were pretty uncomfortable. The room did have a smell. Walls are very thin; we could hear neighbors singing and talking. Parking is limited and fairly compact. Check-in process was quick and smooth.

My husband said the location was amazing, many close dining areas. He was able to walk to Burger King to pick up a rodeo burger with ease. The only thing was the bed, a little hard but other than that great and clean stay!

Restroom needs a face lift
Picked this room because of the picture of the bed and ceiling but that restroom needs some serious update.

Clean room, awesome atmosphere inside the room. BUT pillows sucked, and the water pressure in the shower was TERRIBLE. Overall great experience especially for the price for 2 nights.
