My boss had made the reservations and when I saw how little it cost I figured I would be living in the geto. Couldnt be further from the truth! I have stayed at very few places that put this much energy and pride inot the up keep and cleanliness as they do here. Im sure its the staff that takes pride in where they work. everyone who works here is pleasant and always willing to do what it takes to keep you happy..Frist impressions are every thing and my first person I met when i checked in was Kelly (for those of you who dont know, thats kelly with a Y!!!) and the experience just got better from there...

I stayed here while working for a couple of months at a local hopital. My first impression was that it was well maintained and clean...which you don't find very often at a great price! The staff was awesome...very helpful & friendly. Again not what you would expect at economy hotel. It was quiet and the room came with a regular kitchen which was great. While researching I only found a few other hotels in the area that have "kitchenettes" which consist of a mini fridge & a tiny microwave. Although you don't get all the bells & whistles that other hotels may have, you get a clean, secured atmosphere at a great price. If I wanted all that I would have to pay 3-5 times as much. Maybe on vacation but not while I'm travelling for work. I'd rather keep my money in my pocket! I will definately stay at Value Places in the future.

This was a studio apartment rented by the week. Monthly rates are available. The weekly rate was about that of three days elsewhere. Stay here if you can do without a maid. The room is only cleaned every two weeks, or when you leave. We emptied our waste baskets at the dumpster behind the hotel. There was no breakfast or swimming pool.

We had a full refrigerator, microwave, and a small cabinet with a sink and stove. Dishes were not provided.

There was a dining room table with three chairs. We had a dresser, TV, nightstand, clock, hanger rack, and shelf. There was a bulleting board over the table. The room was well air-conditioned. There were window blinds, rather than drapes. The room seemed well lighted, and the paint job seemed current.

There was an adequate bathroom with nice shower pressure, enough hot water, and a variable speed shower head.

The beds consist of mattresses on wooden platforms - with storage under them. There is an extra charge for new sheets or more towels.

We were on the first floor but noted an elevator. Parking was always available near the entrances. The parking lot is well-lighted. The building exterior and halls were clean. We never heard any noise or disturbances.

There was easy access to the north-bound feeder road of I-45. To reach the motel from I-45, take exit 16 of I-45. Turn left under I-45 to the second traffice light. Take a left onto the north-bound feeder. The hotel will be on the right after about three blocks of north-bound driving on the feeder road.

The front desk is only open during the day, but a 24-hour attendant lives in the building. He was very polite and friendly. He gave us road directions.

There is a 24-hour IHOP at exit 16 and a 24-hour Denny's at exit 20. After any north-bound trip, one must cross over or under I-45, and take the south-bound feeder back to exit 16.

Do not expect to get a room even with a confirmed reservation. They had no rooms when I arrived and said they were "sorry for the inconveience" but there was nothing they could do so I had to drive around and look for something else the night before I started a new job. They would not even provide the manager's phone number.
