I didn't rent a car for my trip and was trying to go on a budget for transportation, so it worked out that this hotel is at less than 10 minutes walk from the trolley station. It's a good affordable option in a nice location that is close to both downtown and the country border.

A long weekend wirh the family. Was fine for our needs. Was quite close a main road but didnt overly concern us but the noise was noticeable. Very simple but was used as a stopping point to see the local attractions.

Met expectations

Clerk was considerate. Free Internet was super slow (low single digits in my case) if that’s important to you. Rooms are ground-level and 2nd floor. Nothing fancy, but everything was neat and clean. Room had a microwave and small refrigerator (and of course a TV). Bed was firm but not uncomfortable. Motel is located near I-5, so there was some traffic noise, but not too bad. A deposit was required… was told it would take a few days for the refund to post to my credit card statement. Would stay again considering the reasonable price.
