8/10 Very good

The bed was comfortable, room was clean and the hotel was quiet. The continental breakfast was better than I expected.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

breakfast wasn't great,there is no elevator and the refrigerator in the room needed to be defrosted. It was a clean, inexpensive, safe place for my daughter to stay for a week in between apartments. It's not upscale, it gets the job done. We are very happy with it
Rebecca, 7-night trip

Positive Changes Under New Management
This location has recently changed management and positive changes are being made. The rooms now have laminate vinyl floors and many of the bathrooms have been upgraded. The curtains in the rooms and the carpet in the hallway are very dated but reportedly will be replaced soon. The beds are comfortable and the breakfast area is well maintained. It is still a basic, economy hotel but the new management is working hard to improve the guest experience.
Brian L, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price
They gave me a great room. Wasnt the cleanest but the front desk was very helpful in getting my stay extended.

Just an average motel
John, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a nice stay. The owners were very friendly. The breakfast was lacking and the broken pool was a bummer but they explained the situation and I understood. I hope they continue to build their staff and keep their customer service.
Jennifer, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room smelled like urine, garbage in the hall and on the steps was there when we checked in on Friday and still there when we checked out on Sunday.
Melody S, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good
