Unusual. The first motel that I've ever been to that asked for a deposit. Still, treat the room well and you get your deposit back. General, standard fare for a motel.

Very easy to find, right off the freeway. I got the jacuzzi room, and everything was clean, and extra towels and bathmat for the jacuzzi. It is also handy that the office is open 24-hours because I left early the next morning. Also, I immediately got my deposit back, not in 2 weeks like some places.

It was right off of 205. The staff was friendly and check in was quick and hassle free. The rooms were clean and they provided coffee and a blow dryer. We will definitely stay there again

This is a decent mid level hotel with an elevator outside. Its in a unique spot on kind of a busy road. Not the newest building, but reasonably well maintained. They check you in from a small window in the evening which was slightly disconcerting, but the room was nice enough and it had all the normal amenities.
