I arrived here at 11pm from sky harbor and the owner gladly greeted me. This is an older motel, but my room was a nice size with a newer mattress, new carpet/toilet. Bathtub very old and worn. Fine for taking a shower though. $210 for weekly rate ($30 per day at the weekly rate), which was my deciding factor on staying here.Staff was wonderful. Light rail in walking distance and close to sky harbor. Has a Fridge, Microwave and cable TV. Snacks available for purchase. I enjoyed my stay and felt safe. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to sleep and not so interested in the decor, then I would recommend this place.

Checked in for one night at first cuz everywhere else was booked. Wound up staying another two. The family that runs the motel was very kind, welcoming, & helpful. Room was clean, neat, everything worked. No bugs. No noise. Nothing sketchy. Not a fancy place but definitely comfortable, reliable, safe, friendly, & clean at a decent price. Enjoyed my stay!

Excellent stay in a great room! I was warmly greeted and they made sure I was taken care of. The exterior is well lit but what really made my trip was that they called me when I left an item in the room. It really warms the heart that there are good people out there still.

This place is run by a nice Indian (not native American) couple who are very helpful. They have weekly and monthly rates too. Some rooms are equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. The service is very good and the maids keep the rooms very clean. Highly recommended!
