Well I guess it's alright... It was a little dirty after they said they cleaned it before we got in and the only reason I know this is I let my daughter crawl around BECAUSE they said it was just cleaned just freshen it up and she was dirty instantly but the staff are nice and it doesn't feel like university inside my room. At night you see tricks yes I said tricks just looking for their next dollar. There are drugs and chaos but I got the nicest room which I paid a lot more for too. I love the room no roaches or bed bugs it has nice jacuzzi tub lacks a stove I guess which was a big downfall for me but it's pretty quiet inside my room and outside for the most part. Freaks come out at night is a true saying. You can hear some arguments but not very many. Pam is very sweet as is her daughter I do not think it was worth the 281 we paid but its 250 a week for the room and to be away from drama and all the hooblah it was a fair price. Next to the office which is nice. It was honestly the nicest room and I never had any trouble there is one lady who cleans and she's pretty nice always speaks when she sees you. Nice people are located near my room spoke when passing. I guess for the price and the type of room I had I honestly can't complain. Moving into my new house now and my week is up just need til Monday and I will be gone I'm about to pay for two nights not sure how much that will be but I don't mind staying there at all.... It's better than under a bridge or in a nasty extended stay for sure. Cable and WI-FI can't beat it. The staff care about you and your comfort...

Best priced weekly hotel I've ever stayed in. Rooms are large and are being upgraded. Owner cares about the safety and looks of his property and guests. New brighter lights being installed to help light up the parking area.
Nice comfortable room. Bed slept good and I have back problems! Descent and clean room DECENT size room I would go back anytime ..* only In Same room * others LOVED my room.. Back side .. Upper deck .. Middle way!.
I must of had best room on the back side upstairs. Everyone who walked by was shocked my roo. looked so good rm 238! I made a home for my time there. I'm gone now.. Its very quite , not many people out and about. I was alone in a room for a week and I didn't have any problems. Great friendly Employee's and friendly quite quest! I'll be back someday. !
The size of the room is bigger than I expected. The price is reasonable, again better than I expected. The only issue I have found is that they need to spray for bugs. This could also be an issue that came from a resident however. Over all my experience so far has been pleasant.
Owned by some very nice people who will work on giving u the best care while u stay with them recommend others to stay here
Nice place, friendly family oriented staff on site. Best rates in town. Feels like home. Close to everything you could need. Love it.
I have nothing but a good experience here and my kids dont want to leave. The manager is helpful and will help you out as much as possible. The staff is now like family to us, we feel safe and its like a home.
It's cheaper than the other ones and so far it's quieter than the last one I was in at another motel and the bed is softer but the TV is older but I'm gonna go buy a smart TV and use their WiFi to watch whatever I want.. I look forward to my days off work so I can just lay in bed all day long and watch TV and it's close to all the stores and restaurants.. it's ok

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
