Spacious room, little dated, but it’s a small town, side of the road motel, so we weren’t expecting the Hilton. Staff (Bobbi) was extremely friendly. We ended up not having any internet access code, therefore we couldn’t use the television. All in all, we would stay again.

As time goes by more damages occur! This place isn't immune to those like every other! It's well maintained & the staff albeit one lady I've met is very friendly & helpful! Rooms have nice beds & with fridge & microwave & a toilet what else is needed? WiFi of course, well they've got that too! Dollar store about 200feet from your door too! I almost forgot a garage is also added on to spoil us non garage owners!

The property was clean. Our room did not have coffee cups and I did not see any breakfast nor did I ask due to plans to meet with family and friends for breakfast. The staff was pleasant. If you are looking for a clean room at a very reasonable price I would recommend this hotel. Our stay was for one night.

I called the available phone number and left multiple messages stating that due to flight delays, I would require a late check-in at The Guardian Hotel. The hotel advertised that there would be 24 hour person at front desk upon arrival. The door was locked, and no access was available. I knocked and called the front desk # for 1/2 hour with no response. I finally had to give up, leave and try to sleep in my rental car.

Motel ecónomico en un zona muy tranquila. Limpio, habitación muy amplia. La parte mala, que no hacen la habitación durante la estancia, y tienes que ir a pedir toallas cuando quieres cambiarlas. En nuestro caso, como sólo estabamos el tiempo suficiente para dormir y ducharnos, no era problema. En la web de Hoteles.com se anuncia que incluye desayuno continental, pero no tiene nada, salvo una cafetera de cápsulas en la habitación.
