Pros: Great property for the price. I loved the beds and the rooms were clean and well kept. Rooms were nice and quiet. Pet friendly too. Cons:Curtains are not blackout and the area is a little rough... still for the price it's a great place to hang your hat for the night :)

It was great! The staff was super lovely! The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The only thing I would change would be to add a little “welcome package” for those arriving late like we did (1:30am) to the room that has the name of any late night delivery food, and the wifi password (I looked through the front office window and zoomed in with my phone camera so I got the password, but it would have been nice to not have to do that lol). Also, maybe fix the little chain because that isn’t giving any security lol. The outside isn’t much to look at but it was a surprisingly nice room to walk into. I would definitely stay here again!

Old building but was clean and cared for. Sketchy guests next door with barking dogs. Didn’t feel very safe.

Rooms are very clean. Wi-Fi is extremely slow. Plenty of parking spaces. A lady who was seemingly having hallucinations was yelling at an invisible person outside, and asked to use my phone to call 911. She seemed mentally unwell. The motel staff seemed well-aware of her presence - they seem to manage the situation sensitively and as best they can, but this is good to know for anyone who considers staying there.

Very clean and appears well cared for. Some dated features typical of older properties - like an actual room key rather than a swipe card. Front lights stayed on and were bright through the window. Being on the main drag - rooms facing the street will be noisy.

It was old and shabby, though clean, and there was virtually no hot water. There was no staff on site in the evening or overnight or when it was time to check out and have my deposit returned to me.

A nice place to stay on a tight budget...
Service was fantastic, room was clean only two issues both of which were minor and easily addressed. There were tiny little black ants that would eat any food bits that got dropped, it made it an incentive to clean up any food stuffs that was dropped. The other thing was slow drains, the sink was very slow until I bought a plunger and that was because the toilet would not flush until I took the plunger to it for about a two minutes. After that the toilet worked great and everything was just fine.
