“Great hotel and great staff. From moment I called and made my reservation until I left everyone was professional. I believe Kylie did my reservation over the phone, Sandi did my check in and my card was messed up but she took the time for me to get it straightened out. I can remember the cleaning woman's name, I think it's Peyton, but the room was beyond clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.... And everyone loved my dog.... I gave the location low stars only because of all of the noise from I40”
“I have stayed at this motel for about 3 & a half months. The motel is great. They have fantastic people working for them! I would like to thank the following people for all they did for my wife and I while we were there. Thank you goes to Brittany, Debra, Sherry, Chris, Will, Nour, Denise, Brad, and Paul! You all are very, very good at what you do!!! Earlier review: This is a great place to stay. Everyone is very helpful! Sherry did a good job of preparing and cleaning the room. Will is always very helpful. Brittany was also very helpful. We left our vehicle lights on, and she came and told us! I also want to add that on my next stay Nov to Dec 2022, Will, Brittany, and Sherry once again did a great job! Finally, I had an emergency health issue while traveling the last of December 2022 and needed to stay at the motel until the middle of February. Once again, everyone was great. I want to thank especially Nour, Bradley, and Will for the extra effort they did to work out details for me. I am also sure others were involved as well!”
“Been here for a while now. The staff here are amazing. Alison is awesome! I had a issue with my reservation and she helped me out big time in understanding the process, so thank you Alison! I recommend this place to anyone. I have so far enjoyed my stay here. its quiet at night, and its in an awesome location for going out to eat shop or local entertainment.”
“I stayed here over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was! I wasn't expecting much from the reviews but I'm glad I stayed here. It was a little small for an "extended stay" but still bigger than a normal hotel room and the microwave, full size fridge and desk/table & chairs were nice to have. Cali at the front desk was the nicest person and answered all my questions I had about the UT game that day (first timer). When we checked in the night before she gave us a little goody bag with water and snacks inside. The office, the room, all inside and outside was clean and felt safe. Literally the only downside was that I stepped in dog poop in the grass outside my room, and I blame pet owners and not the hotel for that one. There was no TP holder in the room? Just a roll on the back of the toilet which seemed odd, and the controls in the shower seemed to be switched around for hot and cold but neither of which are a deal breaker. 100% would stay here again. (But not for more than 2 nights the bed is too firm for me!)”
