Stayed the night as a local due to really bad weather warnings with tornado warnings and not anting to risk being in my home surrounded by trees. This is a nice, pet friendly motel with new laminated flooring, looks like freshly remodeled rooms. Little fridge, microwave, large flatscreen TV and 2 person dinette. You can walk to the Walmart and new Crestview Commons with stores & restaurants. I would recommend a stay here, there is a complimentary breakfast also so cute little motel overall.

I traveled from Tucson Arizona and when I arrived in I met the most cheerful and sweet property manager ever Kim. She was very professional and extremely friendly. Give her a raise ! The room was clean and well maintained. I will stay here again.
