We have stayed at this property a few times. We enjoy staying here very much! It is usually very quiet. There are plenty of dining options as well as shopping options close by. Comfy beds and plenty of hot water! The property is always very clean! The staff at the front desk are very helpful! We will definitely return!

Had a great stay at the Trolley stop motel. It's a older motel but has been remodelled and the beds are very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

Milan was awesome. He actually helped me check in a little bit earlier than the check-in time because I just got back on vacation so I was tired. Great service.

Asked for non smoking room and got a room that smelled of smoke. Room was switched but still a smoke smell.
Room was very small.
Great location.

The manager was nice enough to let us in to change before a wedding we came to attend, even though it was before check-in. The room was cleaned up excellently. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

I understand this motel went through a significant renovation and that it used to be a real dump. But for $120/night I expected something better than what we experienced, which was kind of bleak and no frills. Our conjoined double room was freezing in one half due to the heating unit and bathroom only present in the other half. When I asked for an extra blanket, I was told no by motel staff. Location is primary reason to stay here.
