I've stayed here off and on over a year and a half almost, during hell and high water literally, and the owners have always been nothing but awesome with me. The rooms and cleaning ladies are efficient and very helpful, the linens are clean, they do pest control, all the AC units are new and cleaned often. There's big king beds, super comfy, tables for each side with drawers, a beautiful marble countertops and redone showers and plumbing, walls, everything redone , doors , handles, even key cards, up to date. There's even great lighting in the different areas of the room. There racks or closets for MULTIPLE STORAGE IDEAS, OR TONS OF CLOTHING AND SHOES IF YOURE THE KINDA GAL OR GUY WHO HAS IT ALL. There is even a lil suite with a literal Jacuzzi in the middle of the room for the couples who want or NEED to getaway for a romantic or special night with another. The rates are the best in the area, especially for actual clean rooms and compassionate owners who actually care. They have fed me breakfast just out of generosity several times, and not just me. But don't be fooled, you don't mess with kind people because that's just not right, do unto others and you'd want unto you*the golden rule*. You treat the property with respect and respect other guests and it's fine. I feel safer here than almost anywhere else in town which says A LOT. there's a covered bbq pit area and ample parking, an ALWAYS WORKING FREEZING COLD ICE CUBE MACHINE, and new washers and dryers for decent pricing and it gets locked up at night and early mornings too so nobody can't steal anything. I've never seen any crime happen inside this motel because the owners and respectful guests kind their business and treat people how they should. Besides the Jacuzzi room there are 2 other "bigger, kitchenette type rooms next to one another which cost a bit more weekly but I think they even do discounts if you pay monthly. Rent is due by 11, so do not oversleep. I suggest paying by the week and get you real monies worth because the handyman here and other workers too will fix any problem quickly and efficiently and he's very nice too ! Always polite! There's even a church nearby that does free lunches twice or so a week and a few others come through multiple times a week or holidays and do giveaways or big dinners, food packages! It located close to a family dollar and the corner stores have some of the funniest nicest coolest people I have ever met and enjoy the few "friends" I've made here. I appreciate the value and integrity that this place gives us and it makes me feel like I'm actually at home because of the space, the nice tv channels(definitely upgraded and smart TVs in all rooms now, Amazon prime, HBO, etc!) I've come to appreciate so much in life because of this place and I feel safe and happy in my little sanctuary and I invite all to come and feel the same!!!! Thanks CAPITAL INN !! *BTW, THERES ALWAYS SOMEONE 24/7 ABLE TO RENT YOU A ROOM FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU NEED AT ANY TIME* And a great WORKING affordable soda machine for $1/12oz sodas. FREE WIFI!!!
