Nice simple updated classic motel. Enjoyed the outdoor space off our room ... bed was very comfortable. However, it was the weekend and there was a lot of noise from various groups of fellow motel patrons who were also enjoying their outdoor spaces with beverages well into the night which affected our overall experience.

A good hotel with an electronic check in process

I liked this hotel. Unique as I got my key via an electronic box instead of a front desk. Kind of cool. All we wanted was a place to sleep and showers in the morning. This hotel suited our needs.

Hidden gem

This motel exceeded all my expectations. It was quiet, clean, and well maintained. It was also close to a fun small downtown area.

It was clean, the colors in the unit were pleasant. There was 2 plastic chair's for sitting, nothing comfortable to sit on. The beds were ok, a bit hard. Nice coffee machine. The shower curtain was a dud. It clings to you and I had to keep pushing it away. They had dove soap & shampoo etc which was great. Parking was great, you can park right in front of your unit.

M&M from MSP

For the price we can’t complain, we knew it was not a 5 star hotel/motel. Great text communication confirming our reservations, proving electronic check-in process and required confirmation that we received the instructions, and instructions upon arrival if we experienced obstacles completing the electronic check in to obtain the key. Keypad to type in confirmation number to obtain the key was too small, my husband’s fingers were too big and my nails kept hitting the wrong numeric key, should consider option for an electronic key and provide the person with more than one electronic key that they can share and/or more than one electronic key. I don’t believe the small air conditioning unit could provide relief during hot and humid temps.

Nice little hotel. The total lack of people contact was a bit eerie. I much prefer interacting with actual people than checking on in a screen and never seeing anyone.

Good value. Needs a few minor updates.

Stay was good . Right where we wanted to be. Everything was good. Checkin was not what were used to. Missed personal contact with people. Not fresh towels everday or coffee cups. Bathroom door stuck really bad and woke others up at night getting it stuck. Light bulb in ceiling flickering.... who do you call??? Not enough light at all. Too dim a place. Grab bars should be in all bathrooms for safety.

We've stayed here several times and have enjoyed each stay. I marked staff as 4 only because you never see them as they have self checkin. I know they are available if needed but everything runs so smoothly, we haven't had to reach out to them

Issue we had was the limited signage. The room numbers were not sequential. Our room was in a short distance away from the main buildings. Our building was behind and was not visible in the dark. We had to get out of the car and explore the area.
