The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. The room was huge and the bed was so comfortable! It still felt a little outdated and the AC was off in our room when we checked in which was a bummer.

Front desk attendant was NOT kind and rather rude. Room was okay but not for what was spent. Limited parking due to construction I believe. Won’t be staying here again.

This motel is very nice. It is comfortable and the rooms are very nice. The pool was such a great temperature-we enjoyed a swim before bed. The breakfast was great! I’d definitely stay here again.

Bathrooom sink backed up everyday. Parking lot with potholes, on a busy road and could hear semi's all night long. Overall, staff were courteous and helpful. I stayed 5 days. Id stay there again, but ask for other side of hotel away from road for better sleep.

I chose this hotel as it had a pull-out sofa bed which was needed, but it was more or less just springs. The room needed repairs - bathroom door didn't want to close and the closet door wouldn't close so the entry door would bang into it every time you went into the room. I know you get what you pay for, but I did expect a little better. The breakfast eggs also tasted like they were made from powder.
