It’s an old motel. The staff at the front desk was not super friendly. The flow in the breakfast room Is poorly designed the check in/out desk is in the same space. They are very hard core about the pet policy concerning not leaving your dogs in the room. It did throw a bit of wrench into our travel plans. The room wasn’t nasty, but it sure could use dusting. Issues with the TV. I would not use this motel again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Things were clean: floor, counters, linens, but some things needed deeper cleaning - like the walls in the bathroom and high-frequency touch areas like around door knobs. It would have been nice if the bath towels were a little bigger. They weren’t a lot bigger than the hand towels. The water was disgusting - it smelled terrible and tasted as bad. Maybe put out bottled water or get a filtration system? I wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer than we did, but it sufficed for what we needed.

The hotel wasn’t a bad stay at all! The room was clean and had no issues. The water pressure in the shower was INCREDIBLE! Chrissy and Maria at the front desk made a lasting impression. They were so friendly and hospitable, helping us make plans for our night. The main disappointment was the breakfast. From the reviews, we were expecting a much better breakfast but it was not great at all. Overall, I’d stay here again!

The room condition was good. Chrissy at the front desk was AMAZING. The following morning though was awful. We went down for breakfast and by 830am there was no food go my kids. They took everything back into the kitchen when breakfast was supposed to be until 9am. It was Christmas Eve. It was poorly manned and very disappointing

Room was clean when we arrived and the lady who checked us in was very friendly. The bedding and towels need upgrading at minimum. We stayed for 4 nights and had asked that our room be cleaned after the second night, but that never happened. It was a fine hotel for what I would recommend just 1 or 2 nights. The bed sizes were too small for a couple making sleeping very uncomfortable.

The lines for breakfast were looong!! The food if there was some, ok at best. The rooms large and well equiped. The the hotel was 15 minutes by car From the center. They had a gas station, starbucks And a taco restaurant next to it. The gas station has a covenience Store. So a mixed review, but the breakfast and the 15 minute ride to town are hard to overcome.
