The weekend stay was very quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. The parking was convenient and close to the entrance. The AC was fantastic. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. This Motel was in a great location, close to restaurants, gas stations, interstate and the mall. The only thing I’d suggest changing is replacing the bar soap with liquid soap, in refillable containers.

Since the rooms have been upgraded in the past, they are very pleasant to stay in. The exterior cleanliness could be a little bit better, but the rooms and interior cleanliness was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful and I checked in and out quickly. The motel is a great choice for quick no frills stays.

It’s an old hotel, which gave it character. The rooms have been modernized and it was spacious enough and comfortable. The gentleman who checked me in made a point to ask me if everything was o.k. when he saw me afterwards headed out to get my stuff. And the gentleman at the front desk in the morning was helpful and friendly in a genuine manner.

All we expected was a clean room with a bed, shower and tv. We were in the area for a soccer tournament and this motel was far more affordable than others, if you're fine not having a pool or breakfast. It was a decent stay.
