Kitisak, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was just okay

While I didn’t eat from the breakfast, there was no coffee, the AC ran constantly and didn’t cool the room much, the back door didn’t lock so anyone could come inside at any hour. The room was good, minus the AC.
Trudy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a little overpriced for what it is but honestly a decent place for a night or two.
angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check-in was simple but the staff was as not friendly. There was a slight musty odor to the room and not enough towels. There were also 3 black pubic hairs in the shower, I quickly removed them before my husband went in the bathroom. I never expect perfection but that is gross. The bed was ok for comfort, I liked the 5 pillows.
Angie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very nice motel. Well maintained.
Charles, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

buddhist presence

Christians should know that buddha is represented at the front desk and sounded like eastern prayer music coming from the office. I am not saying ownership/staff don't have a right to express their religious ideals, only that Christians should know that buddhist influence is apparent. Room was a bit musty smelling. Otherwise a decent experience.
Rick, 1-night trip

Lisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not again don’t take kids!

We had holes in box spring, bathroom vent falling off, scared for my toddler seeing as head board almost fell on him and they blamed a 21 month old child, mirror fell off wall and almost landed on my son, had to ask for more towels and when so was told to take down my own dirty towels for fresh, they did not gather trash, I was not impressed at all very rude staff unclean environment
April, 2-night trip

Have stayed here multiple times.
Jean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!
Pazong, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was clean. It looks like some renovation had been made and others still either in progress or needed to be made. The staff was very friendly. Mattresses in the 2 rooms we had weren't great. Breakfast had eggs, sausage biscuits and gravy. You could make waffles or toast. There were a few cold cereal options.
