The desk clerk was very nice. I was thinking upon arrival that I would have to pay a deposit or pet fee for my two Yorkies but to my surprise I wasn't charged for either of them. The rooms were very basic but very clean. The bed was comfortable. I would most definitely stay again. The room wasn't very expensive at all. I would most definitely recommend to anyone.

Not a bad spot for a short stay. It's close to I-40 although a little hard to find. There is a gas station next to it and a Wendy's near by. Room could use some maintenance but the A/C was cold and the TV worked. Hot coffee was available in the office and the staff were helpful.

I want a clean place to sleep and generally a fridge as I carry most meals with me. I don't care about the art on the wall or that the bedding is the latest hotel style. Regular remodeling reflects in what I have to pay! Shower was hot and showerhead high. Bed comfortable, room basically clean. Wear and tear. It could probably use a deep cleaning.

My first stay here was last week. I had such a great experience I booked a second stay. The guys at the front desk were great. I’m in a big truck and they made it possible for me to park. If I’m coming through this way again and it’s time to stop, this will be my first choice.

118 was clean. No smell of smoke. NO ROACHES! NO BED BUGS! Heat/air worked great. Walking distance to Lee gas station. People posting bad reviews must be locals with lame lives! Front desk was very nice and polite. Definitely would stay again

I stayed here for a night. The staff wasn’t exactly friendly, but they weren’t rude either; they just get the job done. One bed was clean, but the other had stains on the comforter. The bathroom was clean enough, and overall the place gets the job done for a short stay, but honestly, for the price, I can’t complain too much. Definitely value for money, but don’t expect anything fancy.

I had a very nice experience here. My family and I were traveling with 2 dogs while on vacation. I was in room 229. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very welcoming and kind. During my stay things were quiet. Close to Lee's gas station and a cute little dog park. I don't understand where some of these bad reviews are coming from.
