Excellent motel at an amazing price

We were pleasantly surprised at how modern and clean the room and furnishings were. A comfortable king sized bed, spacious room, a good sized desk, large bathroom, and extra essentials (fridge/freezer, shampoo, iron and ironing board, and plenty of outlets) adorned the room. The staff at the front desk was kind and even called us right away when they found that we had accidentally left something behind. All of this at a very low rate. I would definitely recommend this motel!

We stayed in the suite upstairs, the beds were comfortable other than the pull out sofa which was not comfortable at all. Luckily there was just 3 of us so 2 of us shared one bed. The room itself was very clean. Overall for the price I’d say it was all nice. Only thing I didn’t like was the pull out sofa bed. Staff was friendly and made it known we could contact them at any time. Thank you for a good stay, we would come back.

Friendly staff and a great price

Although I didn't realize this was more of a motel than a hotel, for what we paid, we were impressed. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My friend and I initially booked for one night (separate rooms), but decided to extend our stay another night because the cost was so reasonable ($50 - $60).
