I stayed here on 2/24/14 and it was great. I have worked for Hilton and Marriott before and I feel that this hotel is just the right stuff. Its not overpriced but its not filthy cheap. The room was cozy yet comfortable and all I paid was $40. I will love to stay here again. room was clean and fresh. No complaints. very close to high way

Surprising quality for a small location. Every room has a flat panel TV, in room Heating and AC, and updated bathroom. They also offer suites and have hourly mid day rates!

I was a little skeptical at first, after seeing some of the reviews of other local hotels. This place was exceptionally clean, I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the room to see how much they have updated. Staff was very friendly. Not necessarily complaint, but a microwave would have been nice. Very impressed with the upkeep of the facility.

If you are needing a room that can help you survive on your feet with tv, cable, bed(no bed bugs), maintained enough for the price you're paying (which isn't bad), the air conditioner/heat worked great just needs cleaned. Newly purchased and improved business is so amazing if you just remember everyone is human even from new owners to a place they want to keep improving on like needing chairs/tables but both night stands. Stayed a few months and even gladly left my mini fridge to help improve even if small. Hated the area but only good from my new friend at the front desk at The Hi-Way Motel and my experience staying. If he reads this thank you so much for working with me. F**king Legend! Lol.
