I enjoyed the taco truck across the street. It is 8.5 out of 10 the super tacos are very good. What I dod not like about the room the tv had 6 channels 3 which were I believe Chinese, the others were blurred and could not hear them. The room did not have any where to hang my button up shirts. The A/c worked really good, they could use a couple more towels and pillows on the bed.Gridge and micro qorkes good. The ice machine they have is aweaome! Room service comes twice a week which is unfortunate... All in all not too bad for the money, could be a bit better. It is quiet and not many wanderers on the grounds. You will need to pay a $100 dollar deposite. Card takes 3-5 days to get back or pay cash and get it the morning you Check out.

It is not so much about the property but one of the managers making guests feel unwelcome. There is an attitude problem with the elderly lady in the reception verging on cruelty.

Very utilitarian motel that they are clearly trying to upgrade and rehab. Room decor was fine, but spare. Toiletries were cheap and ineffective and the appliances in the room were either unplugged or too far from a plug to be used.
