Good Hotel

Great basic motel with good, reasonably sized rooms for overnight stays while travelling. The free breakfast doesn’t have a lot of variety but there's something for everyone and plenty of it. Would definitely stay again.

When we arrived the hotel was over booked because of a flight issue, therefore the rooms were not ready upon our arrival. We just got off a 23 hour flight. We were exhausted, the hotel dining area was closed , and crowded. No where to sit to wait for room to be cleaned. Hardly no restaurants in the area to find food. It was a crowded city type area. The breakfast in the morning was decent and friendly staff the next day. 8/2/25-8/3/25

Although our check-in was quick, we found the person we were dealing with wasn’t particularly friendly. Later, when asking for some assistance, again, he seems quite abrupt and not wanting to properly answer our questions.
