After our second day we realized our room wasn’t getting cleaned!! We asked and they said you need to ask! Well at check in this should have been disclosed! Over $200 a night and no daily housekeeping?!? They blamed COVID for not cleaning! That’s over 5 years ago. We asked for towels and they gave us two…. For 2 grown adults! Beds were comfy, located in a good spot. Communication at check in would have been appreciated!

Super friendly service, the people who work here want to ensure you have a terrific stay. The place is clean, bright, and there is a wonderful coffee shop across the street that open early! Unfortunately our mattress needed replacing and the topper kept sliding off, and since we stayed in order to sleep, this made for a less pleasant stay.

Our renovated room was clean and spacious. The motel wasn’t busy but they put guests next to each other and the walls are thin so conversations could be heard. Also tried to check in at 2 and told to return because carpets were being cleaned but our room had no carpet. Strange. The price was right for overnight stay and we were only there to sleep. Noisy road in front. Towels were like rags. Clean but very worn and rough. When we did check in after 4, the lady at the desk was much nicer than the man was earlier.
