Great room. Excellent food and service. Really clean.
It is very clean and at a good price, also it has a good access to the airport and the borderline. We got a very good customer service by Mr. Jose Ortiz he will go the extra mile to do his job.
It has Private garage that leads upstairs to your room. Rooms are a decent size for the price. Would definitely go again!
Very nice and clean rooms I absolutely love staying there, service is great the only thing that i don’t agree with is that they don’t allow children, I have taken my 17 year old daughter and I couldn’t stay there with her even though I’m the parent we couldn’t get a room so that’s a minus!!
I needed a place to stay my flight didn’t leave in till the following morning.So i got this motel for the night price was reasonable and it came with your own little garage but the room was hot and the air conditioner was leaking all night. Also the bed was super uncomfortable couldn’t sleep well its ok but not longer than a night.
Its a decent place to stay. Linnens are clean, bed is firm. I am not picky as long as my room and linnens are clean which is the most important. Prices vary from 4 hours to all night. I like the fact I can park my car in my own garage. No bugs and decent for the price. I have stayed here twice, once in 2011 and now and rooms are still in good shape.
Remodeled rooms with jacuzzi, dance pole, disco LED lights. Good place to have some time with that special person.
Very clean nice rooms. Fairly decent prizes when you stay during the week.
