For The Money, it's a Great Deal!
I picked this place off Expedia and had no great expectations, but I was truly surprised by how good it was. The property is in very good shape with plenty of parking, even for a semi, and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, had a fridge and microwave, but had no coffee maker. There is no ice machine on the property, but the owners gave me a small bag from their freezer! The desk has no light over it, so it's hard to do work, even in daylight with the curtains open. It is close to food and fuel, but shopping, if you need it, is further away. It is right on Hwy. 97, with railroad tracks behind it, but it's still not too bad. If you it's one or two of you, it's enough, but any more than that, it would be cramped. It It's a nice place at a good price.

WTF
Here is the review that hotels dot com hid and instead gave them a top rating on my behalf after I gave them literally the lowest. Know this if you use hotels dot com, they lie and sell out the hotel owners - no doubt for a price if course: I had stayed here previously with no problems. This time was different. I checked in and left right away to do some errands. When I came back, the toilet paper on the roll had been used up (wasn't like that when I left), the AC had been turned off (AC was on when I left), and there was a strong smell of body odor in my bathroom. This made me uncomfortable and feeling like someone was accessing my space when I was away. I then wished I had a door jam to protect myself inside this room when I would be sleeping and someone associated with the motel could just enter at any moment. On the positive side, I did get through the night unscathed. The bed was comfortable but hotel staff not trustworthy IMO. I checked out early and made the mistake of leaving behind my phone charger. I realized this and followed up with a phone call before the official check-out time. I then went back to the motel and they told me there had been no charger left in the room. I know this was NOT true. Retraced my steps fully and the thing is gone. Last place I saw it was plugged in the wall at this very motel. I am convinced motel staff took my adaptive charger. It wasn't a ton of money - but very inconvenient to suddenly be out of a phone charger when travelling and doing a bunch of projects in town. I have been a return customer previously but don't think I will be anymore. I regret that I left a cash tip in advance for the dishonest (cleaning?) staff.

Great deal
The room was clean and comfortable. We checked in very late in the evening and the woman at the front desk was very helpful and polite. Convenient location on the Hwy. I didn't hear any truck noise. Covered parking right outside your door is very convenient. My son left an item behind and we were too far out of town to go back. I called the motel and the woman said she would let housekeeping know so they could look for it. I called back later in the day and was told they found the item and will hold on to it until I pass back through town in a few days. If you're looking for lots of amenities, this isn't the place for you. But if you are looking for a clean, safe, convenient and inexpensive place to stay that also has great customer service, then this is the place for you. I would gladly stay here again.

Not bad for the price.
It wasn’t horrible. The room was clean. The shower was very small, and the beds were ok. Covered parking was nice, and there wasn’t too much highway noise. Nothing got breakfast in the lobby except single wrapped donuts that looked pretty stale.

Really nice place
Don't let the exterior fool you the rooms inside are newly furnished with microwave refrigerator many channels on the TV , new heater / air conditioning unit. Bathrooms are clean and also newly refurnished. Owners are very friendly and helpful, the place was quiet all night no tweekers around. Overall a very nice place to stay.
