The staff was kind. The room was spacious, the bathroom on the other hand was rather tight. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. Will definitely say again on my next trip.

The room was very nice and clean; newly renovated I would guess. Location was perfect for our visit. Parking lot was nice and safe. Just one bit of advice: pick up the litter by the back staircase and around the outside. Other than that this motel is very nice.
