Our room was very clean. The air conditioner/heat was surprisingly quiet. The bed was comfortable but a little squeaky. This is a no frills basic motel with very reasonable prices. The website needs updating from previous owners so call directly with questions about amenities.

The hotel was in close proximity to many attractions. The room was clean however it could use a coffee machine with supplies, hair dryer, etc. it would make the stay more valuable for the price. Also, the hotel could offer a continental breakfast would make it more inviting to want to come back. Overall, it was a good deal.

I only stayed for one night, but was pleasantly surprised at the spacious room, (I stayed in the king room) and for an affordable option, o sleep well and has everything you would need, including a full size fridge. It had a nice tv also. The reviews didn’t steer me wrong.
