Location is between a busy highway and a rail line, so there is some noise. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, but the facility shows several signs of delayed maintenance. The rooms were clean and had minifridges and microwaves. However some of the rooms appeared have been converted to living quarters for residents. Overall an acceptable although not preferred lodging.

There were bags of garbage in the walkways. The drain in our room didn't drain at night.There was limited parking. The owner uses the parking lot for a U-Haul business also and U-Haul trailers took up a lot of parking space.

It’s a good hotel for the price. Location is near the fairgrounds which was the primary reason I chose it. The road noise from Route 2 and railroad was somewhat bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Furnishings looked old in style but in reasonable condition. The comforter had a black mark on it, but otherwise the room was clean.

The customer service was great but the room was dirty. I had to clean the surfaces before I was able to use them. When it came to the bed, I slept fully clothed. I remember this motel when it was one of two in Monroe, it’s gone so far down. Sad to see.
