The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very clean. No bugs or trouble outside. Nice washers and dryers and ice machine. Mini fridge and microwave work great. Plumbing is a small issue that can be overlooked. Good weekly rate.

The name says it all. Best place to stay in all of hickory and surrounding areas. The little extra money is well worth the added luxury. It is still a budget motel not pricey at all. Everything is within walking distance from a conveince store to Walmart the mall anything you could imagine. Staff is the best I have seen ever. No crime or other riff Raff which says alot about a motel. No smells bugs or any other sign of it being a nasty place to stay. I would recommend this to anyone over any other motel. The price is still a budget price with luxury and peace of mind all throughout the establishment. I have lived out of motels in this area for quite awhile and consider my opinion very high when it comes to such reviews and I'm telling you it doesn't get any better than this place. All it is missing it beach front property lol also they didn't try to rip me off out of my deposit like every other motel does just to earn extra income. I guess they do such a good job here they don't need to try to rip the customer off like the budget in, Fran Mar, and red roof inn. I must say this is the best out of any motel I have ever stayed in my entire life
