Even though the hotel was not full, we were given a weirdly proportioned room in a dark corner up 2 flights of steep stairs (we had 2 large bags). Room 14 was the worst in the complex, it faced the loud busy road, it was above a loud restaurant, power point didn’t work, bath shower didn’t work, and the price we paid was $30 more than I later found advertised for other rooms. If we had any of the other rooms, I think it may have been ok.

For what we paid, the propertys condirion is very tired and old. The price was probably due to a third party booking service, was unable to find a direct phone number to book.

Great friendly customer service. Okay for an overnight stay, spacious and clean enough. However, since it was a little dated and dark decor it made the room feel like it was unclean. Bed manchester had some stains on the cover.

The motel is right in the middle of town and was perfectly located for our needs. It was also very affordable. We knew we would arrive later in the evening and the office would not be staffed, so we were told beforehand how to get the key to our room which worked out very well. The room was spacious and had several amenities. The only suggestion I have is to update your bedding and mattresses. They were sufficient but worn.
