The newly renovated lobby was beautiful. It was a very nice place to sit and wait for the rest of our group when we were heading out. The rooms were very clean and housekeeping did a great job every day. The bar and restaurant for breakfast had great wait staff and good offerings. The only negative was no elevator to get to the second floor. The gentleman working the front desk did help us bring some of the luggage up, however. I would definitely go stay there again.

Check in was great, hotel staff was polite and did her job great. We got to the room and there was McDonald's in the fridge. Gross. It was not the most clean room but it was quiet. The heater was not quiet and switched off and on inconsistently. Great location.

The room was decent and clean. Hallways were cold. Property lacks safety measures from back and side entrances not locking leaving property open for anyone to enter. Safety is a major concern.

Price is very high for a basic room, but I guess everything is high up in your area now. Room was nice enough and the restaurant was great. I miss the pool and hot tub. Not sure what the game plan is for all of that.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We loved the room it was exceptionally clean, roomy, with comfortable beds. The only reason we gave it an average for property condition is because it is being renovated and some amenities were not available during our stay. The staff was very friendly. It has a very nice restaurant on the property, with great food. The only draw back to the restaurant is it is only open for breakfast and supper. We initially booked this property because it had a pool, but then found out they had to fill it in due to structural issues. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. We definitely will come back the next time we visit the area.

You can tell there is a lot of love that went into this Reno's of this motel! Staff was very welcoming and pleasant. There are a lot of workers using the motel to come and go and the thing that really aggravated me was the door "banging" every night and morning! I have been in hundreds of hôtel and never heard this kind of door "slamming" it's like they used all their strength to slam the doors. The rooms are kept immaculate. I may suggest that they keep their working crews separate from the travelers whenever possible. Yes! I will be back next year again and wear ear plugs if they have not found a way to solve this problem (maybe signs would do the trick)!

My favorite thing about this place is the basement fitness center. They have a new, single room fitness center on the first floor that’s fine for a casual exercise enthusiast. It’s still probably better than most hotels (it has a decent complement of weights, medicine balls, and kettlebells), a leg extension/curl machine, a multifunction weight stack machine, a bench, and a few cardio machines. The basement gym is so much cooler if you are a bit more into working out, though. It rivals a small commercial gym. Two rooms of cardio equipment, but the weight room is the gem. A squat rack, Smith machine, leg press, benches, 1000s of pounds of free weights, dumbbells up to 110s, multi-station cable crossover machine, dip station, three distinct weight stack multi-stations with different exercises (shoulder press, chest fly, leg extension/curl, hip an/adduct…), and so much more. I was told about the new room when checking in, and was told they were doing away with the “out dated” basement set up because it wasn’t cost effective to maintain or something. I was given a separate key to access the basement gym when I asked about it, and had it all to myself with my son. When checking out, I again mentioned how awesome the basement was, and lamented that they were doing away with it. The checkout woman said they weren’t likely getting rid of the stuff, they just weren’t going to advertise it, but if you knew and asked they’d give you access. The gym was the sole reason I chose them!
