Good location off of freeway. No frills hotel. Weather was too cold to consider using the pool. Pet friendly, with plenty of open space around the hotel to walk your dog. Had good coffee in the office. Morning breakfast snack was packaged pastries.

We were running late, traveling to our home and decided to hunker down for the night. This place proved a great alternative to all of the other motel / hotels in the area, at an especially great price for how well clean the room was. Can't speak about the other ameneties, but at least we were able to rest our heads, what more could you want?

Great hotel! Room was big, bed was comfy, pillows were a little hard for us personally. Pool was clean and they have a hot tub and sauna aswell! Would definitely recommend.

Perfect stay. We actually arrived early and was accommodated with early check-in. Staff was so helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. On-site gym and sauna was a plus.

Room was clean well stocked. Check in was very easy. Desk person was very helpful and professional. Served coffee, tea, and hot chocolate all the time. Had a good variety of snacks and soft drinks to purchase. Whole place was well maintained and clean. Good lighting for parking lot. Felt safe to stay.

This is a no frills motel, but it has very clean rooms. It could use paint and some furniture could be updated, but all we needed was place to sleep, so it certainly met our needs for the night.

BEST place to stay in needles! we stayed here on a previous trip through needles and we didn't even consider another motel. check in easy and quick, large CLEAN rooms, beds were comfy with plenty of pillows, bathrooms clean with plenty of towels, plenty of places to plug in personal electronics, refers and microwaves in the rooms, parking plentiful and well lit. direct tv , easy to access free wi-fi. there is a pool that we didn't use, but it looked clean and well kept. there are some more expensive motels in needles, but i don't think you can beat this for accessibility, price and comfort.

Rooms are way better than I expected them to be! I am a Hampton Inn kind of style but ended up here… Not going to lie, I was scared to get a room with the unknown of what I’ll find! I have been moving across the country and just wanted to shower and sleep in something decent! This was perfect! It’s not crappy like some others I have stayed at! Service from the night guy on 01/02 was amazing! Rooms have clean beds that are comfortable, sheets and floor!!! Parking lot is clean and safe! Food is located close! Cameras on the building! Quiet and nice! Could use some fresh paint in the rooms but all in all for the price this is a great hotel…7 out of 10…Thank You!!!
