In spite of the initial appearance of an older motel and reception area, the desk staff were outstanding as was the presentation and cleanliness of the room and bathroom. The management has gone to great lengths to provide a comfortable clean stay. We woukd absolutely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good price and friendly staff. We were on the ground floor, and you could hear the stomping of feet from the room above. Some rust here and there, but the bed is clean and comfortable. In our room, there are two accessible doors (one inside the building and the other for parking). All in all, we are satisfied with our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The entrance door is a single door only, not a double wide doorway, I had two oversized bags to bring into the building & had to fight with the doors to get in. My room was on the second floor and the stairwell is very narrow and large bags are banging on the walls. Poorly designed entryway and stairwells. Other than that comfortable bed, slept well
