Small parking lot so you’re only allowed one vehicle per room and street parking can be difficult in the area. Definitely an older property but the night audit man was very nice and the stay was just fine. Would stay again. Great location very walkable!

The hotel was conveniently located to bus routes for all the points of interest we visited. The price was budget friendly and the neighborhood was safe. We did a neighborhood walk at night with our child and did not encounter any issues.

No hate towards the motel but it’s a busy and loud street with no sound cancellation. It’s incredibly loud so it’s a tough sleep situation just bring something to help it or a lot of melatonin!
