Definitely a basic breakfast, nothing hot, but ok. They have a code entry for the rooms. My room was switched from 2nd floor to 1st floor, which I appreciated. But at some point my door code didn’t work and I was locked out of my room. The office was closed at this point, so luckily I had my phone with me and I was able to leave a message. I decided to try the original code for the room I was originally assigned, and it worked! I did get a call back from the desk after I got back into my room. There may have been a technical glitch in the lock system that needs attention. Other than that, the room was good. One TV issue, though: No ABC, CBS, NBC. That was disappointing.

Clean, decent breakfast selection. Check in very easy as handled by text. Some train noise, however the AC fan blunted this well; we couldn’t get the overhead fan to stay on without the rearward room light also left on (single wall switch for both). Overall restful night.

Nice to have a updated room. Very clean. AC worked great. Water very hot. Beds are OK, some will like them some won't. Lots of room. Ceiling fan is nice to have. Staff was friendly. A bit noisy. The train tracks are close so you get the occasional horn blast as they go thru intersection. Some road noise from US6, none from I25. Breakfast was very basic continental style but nice variety. Various bars, oatmeal, coffee, teas, basic pastries, breads, yogurts, milk. Only breakfast con was apples were the only fruit. But grocery store is a block away, so it's easy to get some if you want it.

The room was clean and quiet. It had been renovated recently and they did a nice job of it. Breakfast was fine, though the breakfast area was a bit cramped. Though the motel sits close to a highway, we couldn't hear any road noise and slept very well. I took a walk in the neighborhood in the early evening and that was good too. The staff gave us a good recommendation on where to eat dinner too. We would stay there again.

It seemed like an older building but the shower was warm, water pressure decent, and bed comfy. Breakfast is pre-packaged items. Train tracks across the road.

Relatively clean. Convenient parking and remote no contact check-in. Breakfast was simple grab-and-go items, which suited us just fine. We got in late and left early so can't accurately judge much.

The motel is right off the highway so is easy to get to, but some road noise, and especially train horns from the nearby crossing, were increbibly loud. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Very basic breakfast options, but the coffee was fresh and good.

Lovely remodeled large well-appointed clean rooms, bike-friendly. Located near a loud intersection and the A/C was fairly loud, but otherwise no complaints. Very simple continental breakfast. Comfy beds! Great value. I'd stay there again.
