Property was very nice and clean and the staff was very nice! Property included parking as well so that was a huge relief! Stayed here for a concert and thought it was cool that the staff also played music from the band too. When we checked out and got in the car staff was already in the room cleaning so it's nice to see they care

The exterior of the motel is cute and inviting. Our room was small but clean and just fine for one night. The only disappointment was that the AC in our room didnt work. The location is super convenient and I appreciated the free parking.
