Safety an issue?

The desk clerk said go around the back for easier access to our room. We went around to the back entrance and there was an unsavory character in a vehicle with the windows open smoking pot. His vehicle was right at the rear door. Needless to say, I did not feel safe at this property.

The air conditioner unit was so loud I couldn’t have the TV on and had to wear ear plugs to sleep. It also was so humid in the room even with the A/C running and the bathroom fan on.

We benefited from some of the nice redecorating underway in this older hotel. Our host was pleasant and very helpful in carrying some of our gear down to our room, new carpeting in the hallway was nice and colorful, the beds and pillows were excellent, and the room very clean. We also liked the new floor covering in the room.

Dated and damp

Good staff but the hotel is dated. Room felt damp and the dog's collars felt like they were damp in the morning even though they were not in aby water the previous day.

Traveling highway 94, like a million times before. We've never stayed here but the price was right and the satisfaction scores are good, so we thought we'd try it out. The owner/staff is very involved and helpful. The area has a lot going for it, but walking isn't in the cards for most of it (Aldi is more than a mile away, no sidewalks). Room appears to be renovated, large and in great shape. Outside of the hotel, hallways and doors not quite in the same league. Bottom line, a very nice place to stay at a VERY nice price!

Staff was awesome! Room was clean. The door has about a 2 inch gap at the bottom and the lock on our ground floor window was briken. The entire hall smelled off microwaved fish

Motel is dingy. First floor is actually below grade. Linens were cheap and well worn. Did not want to walk barefoot on the carpet.

The staff was welcoming. I could tell that there have been recent improvements, everything looked orderly and clean. The rooms are a basic, nice hotel experience. It was cool and comfortable with blankets available in the room, but not on the bed. I appreciated that. Three pillows per bed was perfect. No pool or other amenities, but I didn't need or want them. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and filling. The only concerning thing was the open drains in the sink and bathtub. I worried about dropping something into them and being unable to retrieve it. I had a very pleasant stay.

Good value

The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice to have the small refrigerator in the room. The only suggestions I would make is to have the TV tuned to the Guide, and make sure there are enough towels, 2 towels per person, in the bath room. The breakfast was excellent. With a full occupancy, there needed to be more than 1 choice of juice. Also, for Sunday morning, the cream cheese and yogurt were running low.

It's down the road from a bus line stop. Rooms have ac, refrigerator, and microwave. No coffee in room but they make coffee available 24/7. They have 24 front desk.A couple lights didn't work in my room. The faucet in the bathroom was missing an aerator. The toilet didn't flush well. The ice machine in the hallway didn't work. Half of the pop in the vending was sold out. The breakfast was ok. Breakfast didn't have ketchup. Hotel seems a little outdated except for new laminate flooring and paint. The hotel was clean though.
