Nicely renovated older motel. The room was clean and cozy. Breakfast and coffee offerings opened at 7 a.m., a little too late for my liking, so I missed it. I suggest a small charging station/clock on one of the nightstands for convenience. Overall, it was a great night's stay, and the price was great!

Front desk gentleman was very friendly and helpful.
The facility was in very rough condition--from the parking lot to our room. It was a clean room but I can't say I would stay again.

It was much better than I expected for a 2-star level motel. More amenities than most accommodations in that price range. Good choice of breakfast items. My room looked quite updated.

This is a retro 50's hotel with ceramic wall tile in the bathroom. Cracks in plaster and ceramic tile from settling. Carpet was badly stained. They had put Febreeze beads in the air conditioner vents in an attempt to hide odors in the room. Parking lot was in disrepair. Locks on doors were flimsy and didn't feel safe. No staff in am with a note that check out paperwork would be in the mailbox and to put key with appropriate paperwork--no paperwork in mailbox so just dropped the keys and hoped they'd figure out which room they were for.

The front office staff was super nice and helpful. The room was older, but clean. The location allowed us to walk the downtown and visit their shops. There was casinos too, if that's your gambit.

The staff were nice. But the first room they gave me the window didn't close. I asked for a different room, and its window didn't close either. The third room had a window that closed but the latch was a bit flimsy. I still didn’t feel totally safe when the door chain was dangling on one screw. The parking lot was totally torn up and the trash bin outside the room was overflowing with beer cans. There was no ice. I think maybe they're remodeling? I would check on that before booking. I felt a little ripped off with the price I paid given the condition of the place.
