Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Motel is a bit dated and doesn't have the best lighting but appears its under new ownership thst are trying to update and modernize the building.. Not many amenities but location. Is good and the area is a quiet and close enough to travel.

As 2 women traveling, we were a bit hesitant after seeing the lobby. The check-in counter is behind plexiglass, and the decor is pretty dated. There are smoking rooms in the hotel so there is a smell throughout. However we were content with our room. It was clean enough and quiet. The air conditioner was old but worked. Honestly, no complaints. It was located conveniently for our event. We got what we paid for in a totally acceptable way 🙂

The staff were so nice! The rooms and bathroom were so clean. The building is a little older but everything was in good shape. Free WiFi use and the air conditioner worked perfectly. The price was also fair. It was 90 dollars and a 50 dollar deposit fee but you get the 50 dollars back in your account after 5 days.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's cheap, but I guess I got what I paid for. But it smells stale and musty in the lobby, with stale cigarette odors mixed in. The room was a little better, but not much. The bathroom door wouldn't close all the way, much less latch. The bathroom floors were sticky and slippery. Only one hand towel was provided, and the towels were mismatched, like they purchased what they could find at garage sales. There were no facial tissues provided. The room just felt dark and depressing. When I asked for a receipt, he looked at me like he didn't know what I was talking about, then made a photocopy of the registration, which didn't include the price. But he was friendly about it. As we were checking out in the morning, the smell of greasy fish lingered in with the stale and musty ambiance. From now on we'll stay in Zion. It's pricier, but worth it.
