I loved my stay here. It’s perfect for the price. Very convenient. My only negative was there’s not much parking on site and the spaces they have a very small. But the hotel is great. I’ll definitely be back.

I was very happy with this choice. We had a 1 night stay and this was an affordable option that was better than my expectations. Possibly cleanest motel or inexpensive hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The people were nice, the decor was nice, and it had great water pressure in the shower, by the way. I would choose it again.
