This is a very hard property to rate because there was very little "in the middle." Some things like the courtesy and kindness of the staff, the overall cleanliness of our room and the high quality pillows deserve clear 5+ ratings. The rest - walls that had crumbling plaster, a noisy air conditioner, no ice machine, and a waffle maker that didn't work which made the complimentary breakfast deserved ratings of 1-. But, keeping in mind that you get what you pay for, we got a clean room with a comfortable bed and awesome pillows at a very good price.

Loved parking right outside my room! And the window opened for fresh air. There were 2 chairs and a little table outside the room which was really nice. Very safe. Coffee and packaged pastries at the front desk in the morning. Id definitely stay here again if i came back

Cozy and comfortable for 1 night

Conveniently located on a major suburban street; close to shopping, local eateries and train station; cozy and quaint decor added to comfortable atmosphere in a spacious room; great seating with chairs, a chaise; refrigerator and microwave; would have preferred brighter overhead light; curtains did not block out all outdoor light; breakfast was sparse with only coffee and waffle maker; internet connection was good on laptop computer but spotty on mobile devices
Easily spotted from street
Can easily pull into open parking lot

The property is pretty run down and very noisy. They also claimed that we couldn’t have a service dog in the room. Had to get management involved to resolve it despite showing paperwork proving it’s a service dog, not a pet.

Cost was appropriate for what was received. Downsides were that the breakfast was a bit subpar, offering only do it yourself waffles and gas station danishes on the first day. However the money saved on the efficiency of everything else at the hotel more than paid for the breakfast that we get elsewhere.

The room was very clean & well cared for. The staff was friendly & helpful. It's just a small motel & on a busy street, so can't possibly be quiet. This is a nice, clean, affordable place to stay. I definitely recommend it.

Glad we came

Desk clerk was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were impressed with the attention to detail in the rooms furnishings to maximize comfort. We were in town for a funeral and this was just the kind of hospitality that we needed. We'll remember this place very positively.

Wasn’t expecting much given the location and price. It was mediocre. Walls are paper thin. Was able to hear conversations and other activities…. in room next to ours. That wasn’t that bad the worst part was the brown water coming out of shower and sink. Do not plan to shower or brush teeth here.
