The bathroom was a little too dirty for me to be comfortable taking a shower without shower shoes/flip flops on. Other than that it was a cozy room with minimal noise, just a few minutes away from everywhere I wanted to go.

The motel was okay. It was a place to stay for the night while in town for an event. The staff was nice, the motel needs maintenanced and updated. The towel bar in the bathroom was falling off and the vent in the bathroom didn't work. There's no hair dryer or iron. It looked like there were spots of prior paint on the wall the bed sat against. It almost looked like wall decorations had been removed and left prior paint spots that weren't the current color of the wall. The room was clean. The motel fit our budget but we got what we paid for via a low budget.

The hotel was in a nice location near shopping and restaurants with friendly staff and very clean rooms. I love the endless supply of hot water and that it was pet friendly. There were vending machines on site with Ice. There were lots of good T.V. Channels, and the refrigerator was a nice touch. The door was a little misaligned so that dead bolt wouldn't work though. There was still the inside door bar that kept the door from opening up all the way.

I graded this on a curve because I had to find it at the last minute. I was originally supposed to stay at another place, but the other place didn't have a record of my reservation and had no vacancies. I'd been driving for hours. I was frustrated, tired, and hungry. All I wanted was a shower and a bed. And I found that here. It's not fancy. It's old and shows the wear and tear. I wouldn't trust the pool. But it was clean and the staff were friendly. If all you want is a place to crash, this place works just fine.

Since the rooms have been upgraded in the past, they are very pleasant to stay in. The exterior cleanliness could be a little bit better, but the rooms and interior cleanliness was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful and I checked in and out quickly. The motel is a great choice for quick no frills stays.

It’s an old hotel, which gave it character. The rooms have been modernized and it was spacious enough and comfortable. The gentleman who checked me in made a point to ask me if everything was o.k. when he saw me afterwards headed out to get my stuff. And the gentleman at the front desk in the morning was helpful and friendly in a genuine manner.
