The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and easily accessible. The lady in the front who checked me in was very nice along with the lady that checked me out. Both check in and check out was quick. The housekeeper was very helpful and nice. very easy access from the 40, we got off got our room and the next day jumped right back on. I would definitely stay again if I was in town. For someone who is a light sleeper, they may not like that the freeway is right behind the hotel, but I can sleep through almost anything so it was no bother to me.

nothing, it was a nice stay and a good nights sleep

Very busy place, the employees were very friendly and helpful. The only issue was the bed. It did not feel stable, the base moved around, and I thought it might collapse. Thankfully, it did not.

The stability of the bed.when I woke up, there was a cockroach on the floor. At least, that is what it looked like. I threw it in the toilet. I did not see any others.

the bathtub was a great size for someone tall it was long enough to sit in and deep enough to soak the rooms are LARGE, give enough space for extra items for work and if travelling long, lots of luggage the rooms are a great size, you get a fridge and microwave so you always have cold drinks and snacks the staff is AWESOME😁 thank you for being fun and very friendly

they were some cockroaches

Very nice staff at the desk. We stayed a couple nights so had to go ask for more towels and they kindly gave me some.

The people upstairs liked to be up late and make lots of noise. You would have thought they were rearranging the furniture.

It was so easy to exit off I 40 and get right to the hotel. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. It was very secure and safe.

We really would like to have had breakfast but McD's was right next door!

Staff is amazing, kind, helpful, and courteous

A bit of drug activity but didn't bother me. Maybe prostitution none of my business.

Gated parking lot with security. Staff was very nice.

Room was on the side facing freeway and street so traffic was loud during the night . Next time will try back side of motel away from street.

The staff was nice. Enjoyed having privacy and feeling comfortable.

The other people staying were very noisy, that's not the motel's fault though.
