Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and well stocked. Check in and out was super quick. The room was surprisingly quiet considering the motel is on the highway. Only issues were the heat in the room being very high and unable to be changed in the room, as well as very little hot water one morning and no hot water the following morning. Not sure if there were issues with their system or what as I was in a rush to leave and couldn’t worry to much about it.

An older property but very well maintained. Facilities were spotless and the room we had was quite spacious and comfortable. Cost was very reasonable so we were pleased with what we had for an overnight stay.

Order place, renovated, very nice and clean. Very good people to deal with we could not figure out how to bring the heat down, but that was no issue. I recommend this place to anybody who has a budget to stick to.

Room was clean, bed comfortable and with bedroom being a separate room inside the suite toward the back, I did not notice traffic noise. Check in staff was pleasant, and recommended a restaurant for supper. I would stay here again when travelling through.

Bring a pair of ear plugs if you sleep light as it is close right beside the busy road. Other than that it is a decent motel and good for your bucks.
