It was cheap. The front desk was nice upon arrival. Just there for the night on a quick stay but didnt feel safe. The outside needs a reno, cleaning and landscaping. Feels very run down. Inside was clean enough but the sheets/towels did not smell like bleach, there was a weird bug in the bathroom and the kitchen was not well stocked...or clean.

Good accomdations-could use a coat of paint.

While the building could use a coat of paint and some repairs would enhance the appearance....the rooms were clean and as advertised. We enjoyed our stay.

The mattress was lovely and I got good nights’ sleep. Parking was excellent. Location is right on a main thoroughfare but nonetheless quiet. Staff is friendly and helpful. Kitchenette was adequately stocked; fridge, freezer, microwave all worked well. I didn’t try the stove and oven but they appeared to be in excellent condition. Altogether an ideal place to stay.

Very comfortable place, however when I booked through Expedia I was of the opinion it was pet friendly. Thankfully he had another unit available that was pet friendly. This is something you need to address, as I may have had no options and 2 hours away from home.

Great Motel

This was pretty nice. It's a bit outdated looking but it just a great job! Beds are comfy, staff is nice. A/C is super loud but white noise is not an issue for you, it's a great place. Plus there are a lot of food options around
