The breakfast was very limited. The coffee creamer in the room was hard as a rock,you could tell that it had been there for a while. The room was clean but the sheets and pillow cases had stains on them. The rooms need to be updated . The woman at the front desk was very nice and friendly and i appreciated her asking about our stay.

Check in was easy. Clerk was professional, friendly and helpful. Rooms were sufficient with all the basic amenities. Breakfast items are available, but we did try it. Overall we were happy with our stay, and will probably book here again in the future.

The motel was close to the event we attended, so a plus on that. However, the motel is located in a kind of sketchy area, but we had no issues and felt fairly safe. There was a noisy group that came in around 2AM, did not appreciate their rudeness. The room was OK, the shower had a weird, springy bottom, made balance a little tricky. The motel could use a makeover and clean up the area around it. Worked well for our needs and the price was good.

Do not stay here. There is a homeless camp just outside the property. Actually right in front of where you park your car. Police were called the day before but they all came back. Furniture and debris all over the place. I was traveling by myself and did not feel safe. Moved to a different hotel. Couldn’t get a refund.
