Great Location, clean and comfortable.

Great Stay. Clean, modern and very convenient to local restaurants. Would definitely stay again. Had the opportunity to meet the owner who was very kind and gave us lots of tips for places in the area.

Good but bad drive

The hotel was nice. The only thing that’s not great is the drive way is right in a curve and it’s scary getting out of their drive way with oncoming traffic.

Everything was good except……the dumpster truck coming at 330am and slamming the dumpsters waking us up. Also the walls are super thin between the rooms, so you can hear everyone around your room’s conversations. Have stayed here many times and will continue to do so when traveling to the area.

Found a couple different dark hairs on towel and sheets. Also, there was no hand soap of any kind , but the desk clerk got us some. Otherwise things were fine enough. Only place we could find under $100 a night.

Check in was easy. John, at the desk, did let me know the property requires a $50 deposit even if you have prepaid the reservation. They hold it in case of damage to the room. My room had a Keurig coffee maker, iron, and ironing board in the room. Breakfast is danish, cereal, fruit, milk and coffee. You can get refill coffee pods at the desk anytkme. They also have a little store on site for other items to eat. There is a water bottle refill machine so you don't have to keep buying water at a store. There are plenty of eating restaurants near the motel. The outside pool has plenty of seats for guests. The property is along a busy street, but the noise is not too bad. My room faced the pool, so it buffered the sound. I would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant Surprise

I was skeptical of the price. You get what you pay for. However, i was pleasantly surprised. As soon as we walked into our room, it smelled cleaned. The bathroom was clean, toliet had been scrubbed and it smelled like bleach- which means someone had cleaned it. The room was very comfortable. Also, many reviews complained about breakfast. I didn't even know that was included when i booked. You have to go to the front office and it's behind the counter. We had cereal, milk, yogurt, Bagels, and fruit-- normal continental breakfast. Saved us a lot of money instead of having to grab breakfast out. The property grounds are very nice compared to other hotels I've been to. Nice little touches i wasn't expecting.
