Basically the hotel was good. They didn’t remake the coffee in the breakfast room but the food offerings were very good. The soaps were tiny but the hot water was great. Not having Roku at my home the TV was hard to figure out. All in all I would definitely stay there again.

Underwhelming

Poor breakfast. Really not worth even going to. General run down look of the property. Terrible TV; not cable, only antenna; only got 3 channels which appeared to be all religious. But staff was friendly, good location. Good price, but you get what you pay for. Will not be back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Booked the cheapest room just to stay the night and be on my way in the morning. The hotel was incredibly quiet despite being so close to the train tracks thanks to the cinder block walls. A clean room, comfortable bed, and a hot shower. The breakfast selection was far better than some major chain hotels. I would definitely stay again.

Decent stay for the price

Our room AC was out so they moved us to another room right away. The breakfast was good for this type of motel. Sink needs to be in the bathroom instead of across the entryway. Toilet seat has no lid to sit down when you get dressed.
