I love their rooms and I think that $45 for 4 hours is a good price. $45 is only for Sunday through Thursday. It's higher on Friday and Saturday. 10pm to 12pm it's $80 from Sunday through Thursday and $154 Friday and Saturday nights.
Clean!!!! Quiet and exactly as the name implies "friendly". Affordable rates. Reasonably priced short stay rates and Great for out of state travelors seeking airport quality without the expense.
I stayed at friendly's for the 4th of july weekend. the service was nice and i was able to get whatever i needed like extra soap and ice. they raised the price for the holiday so we paid $90 instead of $60 for the overnight. ovrall it was a 3 compared to other motels that having bad cleaning employees and the occasional mouse. still going to look around for better one but i wouldnt mind going back to this motel.
Love the staff .. always treated with kindness and respect.. stay here almost once a week , fair price and clean
The beds were very comfortable and the sheets on the bed was clean and neat me and my hubby had a great time
Excellent for short stays very reasonably priced. Overall it was really nice. I was actually shocked at how clean it was. I would definitely recommend it. I actually have told about 10 people about it already
Cool and reasonable place to go for a short stay with your boo. Room has the bare minimums. No wash cloths just big towels.
This place is so clean as well as has nice service, good pricing for renting a room, near restaurants, gas station and public transportion or cab service.
