Economical choice

Our check in was quick and friendly, and the owner was great. The room was clean, and tidy. Its fairy bare bones, 1 soap bar 1 roll of TP. The bed and pillows aren't very comfortable, but i would stay again. It was a great price, and a reasonable walking distance to downtown. Upside, the property had a really friendly cat.

Our honest review.

The good: We were allowed to check in early, which was nice. The beds were comfortable. The woman at the check-in desk was nice. The bad: When we pulled in the lot, there was someone working on a car - with parts strewn about on the ground. There was no soap in the room - or cups. The water was warm only - no cold water. (We got back late from a concert, so it was too late to ask staff about these things.) No nightstand by beds. Red stains/spots on wall near bed. The bathroom door doesn’t close. There was a woman sitting a few doors down from our room on the second floor - for hours. (Kind of odd that staff wouldn’t ask her to leave.) Not trying to be mean here. Just giving input. The cost was not cheap, either.

Liked the fact it was with in walking distance of anything you need. We felt safe walking day time or night. It was not the fanciest motel but it served its purpose for what we needed. Would definitely stay again if we go back to that area.

Got the job done

For what it is, it got the job done pretty well. It’s cheap, very close to dt, and an ok place to crash quickly. The bed was clean and comfortable, there were clean towels and hot water, and free cable tv. The AC worked great, and the minor water issue we had was resolved in no time. It sure beat the $400/night staying dt det.

Will never stay here again. No desk no outlets by the bed no coffee maker a bit dusty in spots in my room. I’m in room seven by the way luckily it’s only for one night. Which means no places to eat at except sitting on the bed. No chair either.
