I stay here when I see my doctor, because it is close. Not fancy, but clean, friendly staff, good beds, the ability to park a few feet from your room, and nice touches like a fridge, pool, and a coffer maker. All for a good price.

Great value hotel and location. Close to everything and the liquor store, pizza spot, and the waffle spot made this hotel super convenient! Didn’t use the pool area but it looked nice. Plenty of free parking that’s easy to access. Room was clean, I felt nice the floors could have been cleaner BUT overall good.

The overall room was good though the bathroom could use some updating. Like most of the small hotels on Hotel Circle you're going to have to deal with the noise on highway 8.
