The room was very small, but it was clean and what we needed to lay our heads down before a very early flight out of SBA. I wouldn't want to just stay here for vacation, but for a night time sleep, it was just what we needed.

It would be nice if there were a few more towels, and if the bath towels were a little bigger. This is a basic motel. It serves the purpose and is fine for short, simple stays.

If you are just looking for a bed and a bathroom this is a good place to stay. I would book early so you don’t pay more than $100.

Mande

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was very friendly, and the location was easy to get to. The bathroom needed a deep cleaning (grout deteriorated, baseboards dirty), but otherwise decent. Amenities were what I expected from this chain. This hotel was implementing a new check-in system that required guests to scan their ID into a kiosk to be verified by an attendant. This alone will make me never stay here again.
