8/10 Good
"Property wasn’t clean, elevators very dirty. My room was not properly cleaned the 3 nights I was there. There was hair in my shower when I first went to use it and it was never cleaned up during my stay. Staff was nice but not very efficient when I asked to join Marriott rewards. I had to ask two different people to complete the sign up and I still have not been given the points for my stay. I guess I will have to call to have it cleared up."

8/10 Good
"You can tell they made an effort to renovate the rooms. This is a motel with pretty cramped rooms, best suited for a solo person or couple, in transit for a couple days. Their renovation efforts are a bit hindered by some maintenance issue, hence the missing star. Still, i would recomend this as a decent motel, suited for singles or couples transiting the area. It's in a middle of quiet nature environement, Rooms have a dual HVAC which can either cool or heat the room, depending on the situation. Nice accomodating receptionist. They also offer a basic continental breakfast. Plenty of free parking."
