Pretty good but you have to pay to park there.
For a 2 star hotel it's clean but the sink/toilet/tub area severly outdated/old although clean. My disappointment is with paid parking..15.00 a day and microwave..5.00 a day. I thought I really found a deal, I suppose it still was, but hidden extras you have to have,(parking your vehicle at the property) seems a sneaky way to get more money out of the customer. Maybe I'm old-school but it's the firstime I had to pay for parking and it was at a 2 star hotel. The waffle restaurant at the premises was great. We picked up our order and ate in our room two days. It's a good large motel but add 15.00 or 20.00 a day to your rate.

Wasn’t paying attention prior to booking this motel but stuck with it during a busy holiday weekend. Well, I’ll intentionally book this place again and again after enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend experience! The staff and property were delightful!

Nice place to stay
I’ve stayed many times here, but this room was a little wonky, not square, kind of tringular, no nice chair to sit in like the other rooms. A little disappointed. Was here for medical appts. Will stay here again regardless. Oh, and the upstairs shower extremely loud, and for awhile sounded like a herd of elephants stomping around. Stopped before bedtime.

Disliked: Amenities
Average stay, room smelled like bleach and had a big headache from the smell. Called the front desk and they gave us an air spray to try and get rid of the bleach smell. It took about two hours for the smell to be minimized and I even opened the windows and turned up the AC. Wasn’t a good start to our overnight stay. Bathroom was small and we didn’t like how the sink was so low. Shower was close to the toilet so it was a little inconvenient. There was also no closet. The location is close to fwy and shops which was convenient.

Overall it was a great stay. Staff was very nice and helpful, room was clean but my TV didn't work but I wasnt in the room enough to worry about the TV. The wafflespot was a great breakfast option, the churo waffle is a must if you go. The only negative is having a room on the bottom floor you can hear everything going on upstairs but other than that it's a great place to stay.

Overall, a good experience
The hotel was a good option to stay near the city but not in the path of high prices. The room was generally clean, though the floor was quite dirty - I had slippers, but my travel companion's feet were black with dirt after walking around the room barefoot. The beds & pillows were comfortable and there was a minifridge (microwave available to use in a public area). The bathroom was small in space but the shower ran hot water, and the sink was outside of the toilet/shower area, which is always convenient for multiple travelers. The Waffle Spot and Amigo Spot both had good food and service. The front lobby staff was also friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a good experience.
