10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for one night stay, newly renovated and very comfortable.
Lanora, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues
Derix, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stay.

The room was very comfortable for a 1 night. Dont expect holiday inn express people. Its a motel. Somewhere to lay your head and go. The room was very clean, area was safe, and well lit at night.

Got a room here after I left another hotel because I did not feel safe at the other. The guy came out to my car to give me my room key and he was nice. The area seemed safe. The beds were comfortable The room was clean.

Everything was perfect staff was exceptional
Edmond, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t recommend

Check in was easy. Staff was nice. Not in the greatest part of town. The back part of the building that you can see from the highway looks super sketchy. The floor on the tub was peeling, vents were rusted. Picture on the tv was not good. I wouldn’t stay with kids but it was just my husband and I that needed a place to sleep after a concert.
Katherine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DON’T FALL FOR PICS OR REVIEWS

The trash had not been emptied, the floors were filthy and the wallpaper and ceiling were falling down in the bathroom.
Wayne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No complaints on this place. While it is basic, it is reasonably priced and suitable for one night. Bed was comfortable and the room is a good size.
STEPHEN, 1-night trip

Lesia Qree, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second time we've stayed here, and may be our new go-to stay when visiting family in Lafayette. In a neighborhood right off of the highway, so it's very easy to get places while still offering cleanliness, simplicity, quiet and seclusion
Breannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and bathrooms are excellent, no blocked drains in the shower.
