This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.

We were disappointed the pool wasn't open but as it turned out, we didn’t have time anyways. The staff was so friendly and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great for a one nights stay.

Look, it's an old style motel. It's not the Ritz. And it looks worse than normal because they're renovating. But the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is great. For the money, you can't beat it.

The rooms were a little outdated, but other than that we loved having a full kitchen for a couple dollars more. We were impressed when we got a phone call from the staff before our stay, and equally so when they greeted us by name at check-in. My only complaint is the shower head pressure was too hard and was pretty uncomfortable.

The check in hostess was very pleasant and knowledgable. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
The Keurig coffee was very good. The bathrooms were clean. The shower had lots of water pressure. The microwave and refrigerator were a plus.
