Very clean, comfortable, inexpensive stop...

Liked: We were concerned about the name and photos of this place - an inexpensive roadside motel in the middle of the desert. But actually it was great. Very clean, huge rooms, very comfortable beds with lots of pillows and blankets, friendly staff. We were very pleasantly surprised.
Disliked: No shampoo. That's a very minor complaint but it's all I can come up with.

Great overnight stay

Liked: Check in was smooth, and the staff was friendly. Location was great, room was spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We were able to walk to grab a bite to eat, and grab a few groceries. The little shops were fun to explore. Definitely recommend!
Disliked: Parking was a little tight, but not terrible

Absolutely Filthy

Liked: The bed was comfortable.
Disliked: It was absolutely filthy. The room had nice granite countertops and tile floors. The problem was the floors were disgusting with piles of dirt and hair in the corners and bits of who knows what all over. The baseboards were black and brown. The first room had tons of cobwebs all over the wall. I asked for a different room, and it was a little better, but still filthy. I have stayed in many cheap motels over the years. I can only think of one that was this bad. All they need to do is deep clean the rooms regularly. They also didn't bring new towels or empty the trash. We had to go ask for new towels. Finally, the AC was exceptionally loud and annoying.

Adequate but housekeeping needs to...

Liked: As far as I could tell there was no breakfast available.The man who checked us in was very friendly and polite.
Disliked: Housekeeping staff lacked attention to detail when cleaning the room. There was no cream for the coffee, the bulb in the reading lamp on the left side of the bed was burned out and the microwave oven needed to be wiped out.

I would come back again.

Liked: I don't think they had breakfast
Disliked: I wish instead of 3 really fat pillows, they had at least one skinny pillow. I cant sleep on fat pillows.
