Don’t pass this by because it’s a motor motel or because it’s reasonably priced! This was the cleanest, most spacious room we’ve had while traveling across America and back!! Great bed, super clean, plenty of room to place your bags, great shower! We will definitely stay here again when passing through!

The room was very clean and spacious. The train is already close by, so there is train noise. We were very happy with our stay.

This is an easy stop off of I-10. We only needed a room for the night in between travel days. This room was fine. Quiet area. It's by train tracks, but they weren't loud enough to wake the wife up, so that's a win. You can't beat it for the price.

This was a great stay for an overnight drive through. I read previous reviews and they were right, it was clean, bed was comphy and a safe area. It has been renovated and we were surprised at how clean it was. We will stay here again when in town.
