It was close to being a reasonable price for a motel. Heating and air worked poorly. The refrigerator smelled and didn't cool. The tv dish went out a couple times. Two pods of coffee for two people over two days? Be cautious of pet friendly. That comes with a step price.

Quick and easy check in, overall good stay

Stayed for one night only. The check in process was quick and very convenient. The room was clean with a lot of shops nearby. My only issue was with the blinds and the sound of traffic. The blinds dont close fully and the hotel is near a highway. Overall, my stay was good. I would stay there again.
