This motel was in a convenient location and the price was reasonable. However, it is showing its age, other people were loud, and I felt unsafe. Worst of all was the breakfast - donuts, sugary cereals, white bread, and no protein, not even peanut butter. I would not recommend unless you are on a very tight budget.

Liked: Staff & service
Run down rooms with patchy paint and trim. Doorstopper on back of the bathroom door was hanging off. Weird design of the shower with seashell-shaped shelf dead center 10 inches from the floor so you have to keep your ankles close together was awkward. Bedframe was noisy when weight shifted whatsoever. Neighborhood was industrial area with junkyards, utility company repair yards, etc. Everything worked though. Great front desk staff and cleaning crew. I’d stay there again but it may be off-putting for some guests.

The front desk staff were very helpful and nice; however, the building, rooms and grounds need significant work. The breakfast was extremely limited, the pool was filled in and the lights around the property did not all have bulbs. Grounds are bare or littered with weeds. The price was way out of line for this property.

Everyone we interacted was friendly and helpful! The condition of the motel wasn’t… the greatest, a lot of it looked run down. The room we stayed in had some type of brown splatter? on one of the doors and brown and white splatter on the wall next to our sink. We were missing a light bulb in one of our lamps and one bed was extremely squeaky every time you moved. Probably wouldn’t want to stay here again, but was thankful we found somewhere close to what we were doing. Again the staff was very friendly!

I was given a "suite" because the room I reserved was already taken, apparently. Side note: I called in advance for my room because my flight was delayed until midnight. Well, I get to the property and I am already regretting it. I was told the shower doesn't function but the tub was the best part! Wow... I get in there with the diabolical smell of cigarette smoke and linens from the 50s. Housekeeping was, loud, rude and unmannerly. I just cant... NEVER AGAIN. Mind you, I also paid over 700 for 3 nights... pshh..
