Ok Stay

The bed was comfortable with new linens. The overall stay was ok. There is nothing fancy about this hotel but the price is right. The free breakfast had very few offerings. The check in process was slow. There was no employee at the desk only a sign saying theyd be back soon. I waited approximately 5 minutes for them to show up which when you are waiting feels like a long time.

A good location to the freeway and food. The motel was older, and the rooms need some updating. The staff was very helpful and polite.

This hotel is a basic bed + bath + breakfast place with firm, comfy mattresses, and rooms with 2 workspaces. Plenty of hot water and a good laundry space in the basement. Breakfast is basic waffles and fruit.
