The room was okay if they would have a coffee in the room and a phone. The water was cold we had to fight to get a hot shower in the morning and there was no hot water at night time. Other than that its okay for a couple of nights

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is outstanding. The amenities were below average. I have never stayed in a motel before that doesn’t have a coffee machine in the room. It was a drag to have to go out looking for a place to buy coffee every day. Even though I personally did not have any problems with this, the amount of available parking spaces is very limited. There was no phone or alarm clock in the room.

Clean, small room with good bed, fridge and microwave - no coffeemaker. Tricky keycard latch. Remodel is pretty good. Parking tight but great for us. Good location and surprisingly quiet. Windows were screwed shut so had to use door or AC for ventilation. Lighting on one side of the bed only. TV operation had a learning curve. Good shower/water pressure. Low key.
