Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Grateful the staff allowed me to check-in a little early- I asked ahead of my arrival- as someone with disabilities. Appreciated their accommodation. Room was very clean, bed comfy, area quiet. Easy check-in, ample parking Breakfast nice, many options. Second stay here and will stay again! Concerns: Entrance needs better lighting/ visible marking-esp at night- very hard to see/ easy to drive past. Had an issue w/ overhead light blinking off and on- shared w/ staff. Bathroom light w/ fan (one switch) very loud- just tried to be considerate of neighbors. I really enjoyed my last two stays and look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

Room was old, and some of the details were pretty janky. We were also pretty sure that a lot of the breakfast items had been out for quite a few days. If you’re looking for an inexpensive stay and have iron stomach this motel is for you.
