It does what it's supposed to do for what it is. I don't know what people are expecting by a small budget priced hotel. I stayed in many of them around here and this is like one of the best out of all those options. The shower stays hot which is pretty good for a little Motel. And the fact that it's all on one floor kind of helps alleviate all the Riff Raff that you see in regular 2 story motels.

It's an okay motel. Nothing fancy. It's a simple room with a working A.C an' a working shower so that's why I gave it 4 stars. Not to many channels on tv though but that's fine cos I don't like watching tv. They don't have the option of smoking, non-smoking rooms though.
