Owners pretty nice. When a nicer room opened he offered me to switch. Price is probably one of the cheapest in the area. Not the cleanest place but there's no bugs.
A little bit of a hole in the wall but better then being homeless
The thing that I like the most, is that they dont have bed bugs.
Decent size room for 2 also very clean for being a motel I was very happy to walk in the room and able to smell some kinda disinfectant or cleaner, reasonable price too
I absolutely love this place! The folks that own it are good and kind! It's quiet, and the owner is remodeling all the rooms. It's a great location in a safe community. I stayed for extended periods on three occasions. Each time I stayed, the staff made me feel like I wasn't just a guest, I was family.
Great place alot cheaper than the crack lighter,,, aka lamplighter
