Positive: It was clean
Negative: The worst part was the beds a cot would have been more comfortable. The beds are so hard. I could not sleep other than that. The place was clean.

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We were given a room in the corner which kept some of the noise level down. The room was adequate for one night. The TV worked well and we were able to get local and some premium channels. The shower had plenty of hot water.
Negative: The sheets and blankets were very thin. The towels were scratchy. The noise outside was loud but I turned on the heater fan to drown out the sounds and it worked for the most part. The bed was hard but I was able to sleep on it.
Summary: This motel was good for one night but I would probably stay elsewhere if the stay was longer.

Positive: Right across the street from ENMU campus
Negative: A little dated. Sparks flew out of the night-stand lamp outlet when I attempted to plug it back in, use a CPAP. There was no remote for the TV, but staff was happy to provide one.
Summary: Good price in a good location
