The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Main complaints were the juice dispenser at breakfast was empty and no one on duty to ask about it and the shower curtain was too short for the bath tub and the floor got wet and the tub was super slippery. Overall would stay again.

Very clean and very roomy rooms with a separate lounge area with coffee table. Coin-op laundry machines. Rooms and laundry accessible with card keys. Very convenient, located 2 block from HCA hospital, next door to a nail place.. pedicure, manicure and waxing available. All the ladies were great. Bed was awesome, mattress was virtually motionless, so you wouldn't wake your companion getting up middle of night for bathroom, drink or snack. Booking.com gives a 10% discount. Staff was very nice, family run operation. Located at 290, 2 blocks west on Huffmeister. Retail corridor down Highway 6 about 5min away. We really enjoyed the fact there was no blatant criminal activity we had to endure. All in all a great experience.

I was looking for a room for the night and on a tight budget. I found this motel has AAA approval, so I decided to rent a room. I was pleasantly surprised staying here. Really surprised. For the price I wasn't expecting much, maybe 2 star, but I was wrong. The room I was assigned was clean, updated, comfortable & quiet. The bed wasn't Comfort Inn quality but it was comfortable enough (on the firm side) & the pillows were soft. The nightstands each had extension cords, multi plugs & USB ports, in case you have multiple products to charge. The bathroom had been recently updated. I really liked the rainfall showerhead & loved the oversized towels. Usually you get Motel 6 quality towels at this price point. They offer Neutrogena products for shampoo, conditioner & lotion. There's a travel sized hairdryer that also had a built-in nightlight. Not everything was great though. The floor definitely could've been swept; it's tile/laminate instead of carpeting. There was only 1 hanger. An iron but, oddly, NO ironing board. No tissues were in my room either. A plastic laundry bag would've been nice for dirty clothes. But for the price it was absolutely a step up from a Motel 6 or Super 8. I'd recommend staying. I posted many pics if you check photos.

Clean room, cold AC, and looks fairly new. I do wish the towels were a little better quality, however our needs were met. I'm not sure but it look like they may offer a quick breakfast for guests.

The rooms were very clean and made up. The staff was wonderful and respected our privacy by not entering the room when we had the tag on the door. Neighbors were quiet and respectful. The hotel is built in a new, nice area of town with plenty of food and shopping options just a few minutes away.

This unexpecting non chain is a gem. The people that managed it were incredibly friendly and the rooms were great quality. The property is newer and looks very modern. Parking was easy so that is a plus. I was very surprised and happy by this property. The lobby has basic snacks and coffee and they are very accommodating. I would honestly highly recommend this property for a short or extended stay.

I stayed here for a bit during a power outage and the rooms were clean and they had everything we needed. Tons of TV channels and good space. The owners are very nice and a friendly family. Thank you so much!

Perfect for the price! Nice sized room. Has everything a hotel room would need; couch, coffee table, desk and comfy chair :), microwave and fridge in the entertainment center. Tv, conveniently placed outlets, good lighting and very clean! Staff was great and I don’t have a single complaint. Could provide more toiletries, but I’m sure they have them available upon request in the office :) nice color scheme too!
