Location is convenient - on edge of Hamilton; staff were not friendly: I was called the night before my arrival and asked "are you going to cancel your reservation?" when i checked in, the woman behind the counter said "oh yeah, i called you to ask if you were going to cancel" it seems like this is a property in transition - trying to clean it up and do repair work throughout; maybe it offers hope on the future here

This motel was better than I expected for what we paid for the night. Our room was clean but a bit outdated. It had a pretty terrible smell (not sure if it was smoke or what?). Looks like they are starting to renovate as our friends had the room next to us and it was newly renovated and very nice! The staff was nice!
