Bed was comfortable, room was clean, shower was nice, had a refrigerator with a small freezer. The staff was great. Breakfast was ok. The room is a little small but had everything we needed. Just wish there was more room for our belongings because the tv took up most of the space on the desk.

The morning hot breakfast was great. Very helpful staff lady also. They need to have bigger pillows on the queen bed. They were equivalent to sofa pillows. Also, the motel notebook states there is an outdoor basketball court. Well, there's a pole, and there's court markings, but no backboard or goal. (The notebook needs updated). Otherwise the cost was very reasonable for a clean room close to all the stores in Shipshiwanna.

This place was perfect for the one night we needed it for. You are surrounded by amazing unique shopping centers that are in walking distance. I dislike the fact that 1 there isn’t much to choose from when it comes to dining and 2 alot of the places close so early. I understand with opening a little later and closing early or being closed on Sundays but Friday and Saturday a lot of the unique smaller shops close at 3pm, but other then that it was super charming staying there
