We only had a one night stay while on the road but found this place to be excellent. Rooms were large and comfy. The young man at check in was very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of places nearby including a Trader Joe’s and the price was extremely reasonable for the area. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely book this place again.

Based off of the pictures in the listing for the hotel I wasn't expecting it to be at a gas station but I actually didn't mind it!
The beds were comfy and clean, room and bathroom were also clean, hot water was instant and the to-go breakfast bags had a good variety.
If I'm ever in town, I'll definitely be staying again!

Property was really nice overall. Can tell recently painted and rooms updated. Biggest issue was when asking for fresh towels, the lady at the front seemed like it was an inconvenience. To have a gas station in the parking lot, was very quiet and no issues.
