A very practical and affordable motel in the area. Good sized room with fridge et microwave (fridge was noisy and I had to unplug it for more comfort), easy parking. Pretty good breakfast included for the price (fruits, granola, waffle machine, salty options, and of course coffee, juice...) It can be a bit noisy depending on your neighbors, but that wasn't a big issue in practice.

I arrived at the front desk around 11 PM and checked in fairly quickly. That’s where the only good part of my stay ended. When I opened the door to my assigned room, I was greeted by an absolute disaster, the bed was completely unmade, the bathroom was filthy, and there were crumbs scattered all over the floor. It was obvious the room had never been cleaned after the previous guests. Exhausted and frustrated, I went back to the front desk to report it. Instead of taking my word for it, the staff member insisted on verifying it himself, as if I was making it up. Ten minutes later, he returned looking embarrassed and finally admitted the room was indeed dirty. Then, unbelievably, he tried to contact housekeeping to have the room cleaned right then, close to midnight! The idea that I should wait around while someone tidied up a filthy room at that hour was beyond inconsiderate. After another long wait, I was told no cleaning staff were available, and only then was I reassigned to a different room. By this point, it was well past midnight, and my patience was gone. The entire ordeal was handled so poorly, from the disbelief to the lack of urgency or basic courtesy, that I felt completely disrespected as a paying guest. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The condition of the rooms and the staff’s response were both unacceptable. I left feeling disgusted and deeply disappointed. I will never stay here again and strongly recommend others look elsewhere

I had a great stay, but my room was very cramped. Staying in Room 126 (by own request), the room had everything I needed but was a little tight in space. Maybe if they a smaller mattress in that room, there would be more space.
