The hotel, staff....all were great. However, the mattress was absolutely horrible. I had a bad night of sleep because it was difficult to sleep on such a mushy, old mattress. I had a friend in another room and she said the same thing. For this reason, I would not ever return to this location.

Was criticized by front desk staff for booking through expedia. Was told several times that they don't like it when people book through expedia or third party apps. Was moved to a double queen after booking a king. TV didn't work and the elevator was scary.

The motel was off the main streets so there was a lot less traffic. The staff was amazing--so helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. The housekeepers did a great job keeping the whole place very clean. All in all, it was a great experience and we will be back!
