Wonderful place considering it's only $40 a night, $45 initially with a $5 refund when key is returned. Very quiet as well.
Nice people friendly and kind .The rooms are the same as of any where.
Love Mom and Dad to work there but the brother hangs around there's horrible
Well priced and off the freeway. Hop in and out. Friendly staff.
