The staff was super friendly and gave great suggestions for local restaurants. This is the closest hotel to the Berlin’s Center and is walkable. The room was adequate and clean. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because after dark there were groups of men hanging around outside the hotel. As a single female traveler, that is a little unsettling.

Motel is a fine value for the money. Place needs a little upkeep and maintenance overall, but for the money, we had no problems with it. We'd return again unless we found a better value nearby.

The man behind the front desk was lovely, but everything else was terrible. Most importantly - our nonsmoking room had clearly been smoked in for quite a long time. It had both new smoke smell as well as a baked-in smoke smell. My husband (with asthma) started coughing immediately. The place may have been clean, but it didn't look it. Stains, peeling paint, etc. And the room next to ours was actively functioning as a tattoo shop. 😳 We didn't stay and are waiting for refund.

the electric switch plate between the double beds was broken which exposed interior outlet pieces. Escutcheon for shower head and bath faucet had 1/2 inch gap from the wall. Wall area behind water controls appeared sunken in not flush with rest of the wall. Room door had broken safety chain and lock. Sewer gas emmission from sink and bath drains. ceiling repairs flush with rest of ceiling possible signs of earlier flood issues.

Easy check in, asked and reserved a non-smoking room, but could tell the room had been smoked in. Not real bad, just faint enough to know. Breakfast, grab and go Continental style. Noisy, but hotel is highway side. Traffic noise. Overall decent for what we needed and would try it again.
