This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff at check-in was wonderful, but this property should not be listed on Orbitz. It was a very rundown motel that felt more like it rented rooms by the month. It had the bare minimum but honestly did not feel either safe or comfortable. I don't think anyone booking online would feel satisfied with this location.

This property is dated and doesn't look so nice on the outside. But, the rooms are spacious: both the bathroom and the room with the beds. The furnishings are quite nice. As I drove up, I was dubious, yet ended up being very pleased with this accommodation.

Needs improvement.

Room it’s self was ok , no, it was half the size in footage that you advertised. I stayed there about 12 years ago and it was much nicer than it is now. I wont stay again. On a good note, the manager and staff were good, helpful and polite. Hotels, located within walking distance of downtown only couple blocks.

I simply want clean and a place to sleep. Driving up, the exterior appeared questionable, and I hoped the interior was not the same. I was pleasantly surprised to find a clean room with a comfortable bed, larger than normal fridge and microwave. The (manager?) made it a point to bring extra towels and make sure our stay was comfortable. Don't expect anything fancy and you won't be disappointed.

The hotel is definitely on the lower end. Kind of a little sketchy, but the room I stayed in was clean enough. No breakfast per say, though there was some to go snacks. I was double charged on my card and was able to get a reimbursement within 2 days so I'm going to give it a good rating.

I will not use exprdia for motels again. This motel was 20 miles from our destination. When we got there we found out it eas a motel for migrant workers. The price was higher than expected for a room in the area. We were told it would have been cheaper to direct book. The staff however was amazing and attentive.
