Owners are very friendly. Clean, comfortable. Only thing I miss was there’s no ice machine. If you plan on staying for awhile get a portable ice machine. I end up purchasing one.
I had a very pleasant stay for two nights. Very friendly owners and the price was good. The room was very clean and you could tell the owners take pride in there establishment. I would definitely recommend this motel. Absolutely a great place to stay.
Very clean rooms. It has what you need, not fancy, but definitely well cared for. I have a 1 and a half year old and it was so nice to see things for her to play on and the yard kept nice too. Owners seem like honest people that like customers that show respect on their property. Will go there again. Is not on business only downfall.
Great location near the highway. A lot of parking for whatever size vehicle you may have. It's near a grocery store. This place is quiet, clean, respectful, and most importantly no problems here. They have Wi-Fi, cable, microwaves, refrigerator, and is a cozy place to stay. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking to stay one night or many. Glad I found this phenomenal establishment!
Great Value for the Price. Clean, Quiet, and Safe. Exactly what I needed for the last three weeks and three days until my apartment was ready. Internet works, Cable works, Good water pressure and sufficient Hot Water. I was able to get proper sleep at night while staying at this Motel.
I stayed here weekly for 6 months. I loved it here. It was simple and clean. Staff was awesome and always there if I needed them. I hate the big hotels because they don't care but these guys are awesome. I will gladly stay there again !!!
At first when I arrived I wasn't sure about wanting to stay here...I've been here for 3 weeks now and I'm glad I gave it a chance..There is really decent wifi with no password so easy to get access & cable...A fridge & microwave...Nice warm shower with great water pressure...The rooms on the end can get really cold but the inside ones are toasty warm....For a single, full size bed it will run you $210 a week or $45 per night which is close to the norm on 27th... I had been at Travelers for over 2months. I decided to leave for multiple reasons but I want to share the end of my experience for anyone else who may stay there..They were very understanding and helpful a month into my stay but towards the end it changed. They are very intrusive when it comes to cars in their lot. Even went as far as to go up to a car that was there for us & had only been there a minute to ask what they were doing there or if sit in the car he will walk around it. The day before we left I was avoiding this stalker like guy. He was knocking on the door & I just wasn't answering. Didn't want to deal with it & don't have to open my door for him. He must have asked the housekeeper to let him in because before I knew it I heard the keys go in the door & she was ACTUALLY OPENING IT FOR HIM!!!! It was my room & she had no right to let anyone in it for any reason & I couldn't believe that was actually happening. The last week of my stay they didn't clean my room or change the towels or provide toliet paper. Got back from being out & the owner was in my room with the door open of course but didn't mention it and it wasn't to clean it & it wasn't the first time either...I feel unless your cleaning it, you should give the renter the courtesy of letting them know you will be entering their space. I just thought this may help someone looking to stay the night know what they are getting into...
I was actually surprised by the room. Pretty nice compared to other motels in the area. Good size and really clean. Only problem was the water temperature seemed to be affected by other rooms. Decent size fridge, which was spotless. Bed wasn't the most comfortable, but tolerable. Searched thoroughly for signs of bedbugs and found none. People above me were rumbling the ceiling with their bass, but stopped at a reasonable time and the rest of the night was peaceful. Just what I needed for a relaxing night away
