Family Time
Hotel was very clean and spacious. The staff was very nice and helpful. My downside is just the comfort of the bed, it was a bit uncomfortable, bed was flat and tough. Everything else was great, wouldn’t mind staying again but beds need to be updated.

Clean, Updated & Quiet
Very clean, updated room, no carpet so no odor. Mini fridge and microwave in room. Quiet back area and spacious room. Checked in at 3pm. Coffeemaker in room and closet was in the middle of the room. Pillows were comfortable. Plenty of towels and toiletries. If all the rooms look like this one this is a very well rounded motel to stay at.
