It was okay

While it was going good , we were disappointed about a few things . Uncomfortable bedding and there were water roaches coming up our drain , mind you we paid well over 600 for the “deluxe” room , floors felt sandy and the cleanliness just wasn’t there . There was dirt everywhere under the bed . We didn’t bring it to their attention because they were super sweet ! But it is unfortunate that we paid so much just for the deluxe room to Feel dirty & with water bugs

The location of this spot was great. The owners called me in advance to my stay. I notified them that my Wife and I would be coming in late and they really helped and worked with us on making sure we got in our room after hours. It was very convenient especially after a long day.

The stay was decent for the price we paid. Less than 500 for 4 night. The bed was lumpy and hurt mine and my wife’s back. We didn’t get any cleaning service until I asked for but was marked cleaned everyday. Ac quit working last night we were there and basically soaked everything in the room. But regardless of all this I’ve stayed at worse. There were clean sheets and fresh towels daily.

Was ok but not worth the cost paid

Bed was not comfortable at all and broken. The pillows were cheap as expected for a motel. The Internet was horrible. Had to turn it off to accomplish simple things on phones

Comfort Stay

Rooms are update and clean. Very comfortable bed, I like the convenience of parking in front of your room. Very friendly front desk lady. The only thing I didn't like was a $125 hold on your bank acct. that was like a week. A day or two would have been fine, but really a week!
