Professional and pleasant staff. Decent motel. The only complaint would be the carpet in my room. I was walking on grit and debris in an area that obviously had not been vacuumed. Hopefully just a one time mistake. The motel is well lit. It is quiet and there are many amenities in the area.

The building is pretty old and I did see a tiny bug crawling on the bathroom walls but other than that it wasn’t horrible. Not bad if you just need a cheap place to sleep and shower for a night or two.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I think it was a great value and pleasantly surprised how well maintained and clean it was. It was much cleaner than other properties I have stayed at in the area, that were $20 - $30 more per night. And their pet fee was only $10. Staff was great, even finding and loaning me a wall charger for my phone, which I had forgotten to bring. Clearly, nothing fancy about this place, but I was comfortable. The bed was comfy, decent pillows. My negatives were no hangers provided in the closet area and the hot water was "really warm", but not hot enough for a steamy show. But I'd stay again.
