Family run, roadside motel. No frills, good servic

This is a family run, roadside motel. It’s across the street from target, and Heinen’s, A fairly upscale supermarket. There is a shopping centre with a number of different shops. I was happy with my stay. I’ll go there again if I have business in the neighbourhood.

Nice little motel

Nice little motel. A bit dated but clean. WiFi was good. TV was good. Fairly close to the Navy base. I was there for my son's boot camp graduation. Looks and feels exactly like a five star hotel when you are asleep.

Close to naval base Great Lakes

This was the closest place to the naval base I could get. I dragged my fiancée there after extricating her from her family. This probably makes me biased about the motel.

I was cheep and thats what I got.

The room was clean but the AC filter was so dirty I had to remove it to make it work. The AC was set to were it would only cool the room to about 74. When I went to pay with a credit card He told me I had to pay $3.00 more or I had to pay cash.

Navy graduation

Close to Navy graduation. Was cheaper than others in the area. The room was outdated. It was clean and beds were comfortable. They didn't replace the towels daily. It's good if you just want a place to sleep. Did not look as nice as the picture.

Nothing wrong with the hotel,but it was a little dated with the furnishings, and our free wifi did not work. It served its purpose for having a bed to sleep in on our journey. Close to highway.

Convenient

Very close to Navy Graduation. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We left a nice coat there and they were very protective of our belongings, calling us about it and getting the item to us quickly. A small problem with the room was addressed immediately. There don't seem to be many other options in the area. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. Can recommend.

good place if looking for low price

Motel was clean and had cable tv, micro, & mini fridge. If you are just looking for an inexpensive place to sleep and shower with no frills or extra amenities then this is the place to go. I was concerned prior to going that it was going to have bugs or be "unclean" or not safe, but it was just fine! management was nice too.

Terrible Staff

We had reserved two rooms with two double beds. We were originally told that they only had one room reserved with one double bed. I showed them the reservation so they gave me the two rooms with two double bed. Then I found out later that they called the 2nd room and told them they needed to come pay them $10 because they were only supposed to have one double bed. I had paid for two. The couple in the 2nd room did not tell me this until we had left. I will never be back!

I would go here again.

Room came with microwave, mini-fridge, high speed internet cable, carpeted floor, A/C., hair dryer in bathroom. Direct Dish with HBO's. Ran by family. Address for GPS will get you lost, This place is next to Route 41 and Route 176, in Knollwood. Close to Crab Tree Farm. The place was kept clean, could use a new paint job though.
