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.
I loved staying at this property! The staff were great and the room was beautiful. We really enjoyed the tv and the channels offered. Everything about the room was awesome for a nice overnight stay. I would definitely stay here again more nights next time!
i frown on motels.cause of past experiences since this was our ast minute trip. i search for an afordable hotel. i stumble on this motel with excellent review.from different website. so i booked it and to my surprise when we got there this motel was nice. very clean, spacious and bed comfortable. it was affordable .the fornt desk staff was very nice. it was close to everything. i would definitely come back and stay here. this is a first class.motel. i have to commend their housekeeping and ground staff for keeping this motel gem wonderful.
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.
