The location of this motel was great. But the property itself needed repairs. For example, the caulking in the bathtub needed to be reapplied professionally.

Great stay, nice suite of rooms. The only thing that would have made the stay better, would be the addition of tv in the bedrooms.

Very nicely updated rooms and hallways, very happy with that. There was a distinct smell of a cat living there. Area behind front desk looked more like someone’s unkept bedroom (which matched the cat smell) rather than a professional hotel.
