Clean and comfortable guestroom; clean and very comfortable bed; friendly and efficient customer service. Facility could use a little maintenance work, but it's not bad. No frills. Adding donuts or danish -- and either peanut butter, or a second flavor of jam, or both -- to the continental breakfast would be easy and would be appreciated. Good value if you can live without frills for a night.

This is a budget-friendly hotel. The location is convenient and the employees are courteous and helpful. The beds are clean and comfortable. However, the facility itself could use some maintenance . . . It's time for some cleaning and repairs.

Toilet constantly got stuck, found belongings under our bed that did not belong to us, there is no drinkable water or ice anywhere in building. One positive is the flexible temperature control.

lights above wash sink - none worked, light on one side of bed unable to plug in, both lightss too high on wall to comfortablly turn on and off, would be better if they were 2ft lower near night stand or lights on night stands. take one of the rooms in the far back and make it into a hot tub room access controled by room key

There is a great Thai take out restaurant on the property. The motel has security cameras watching entrances, exits, and hallways. That's good and helped us feel a little safer. The access doors are left open, I guess for the breeze, or perhaps to assuage the pervasive smell of tobacco. The door to our room didn't seem snug enough and I could see light all round the frame from the hallway when the door is closed. I thought one good kick would likely open it easily. I told the clerk on duty about a man sitting and smoking in a running car, door open. The man was there in the evening when I took my dog out, and again in the morning. Although the motel is non smoking, I think the aged carpets from yesteryear retain all the stench of the prior days when smoking was allowed. Positives are the polite and friendly staff, the security cameras and the local Thai restaurant.
