Clean and comfortable, excellent location. I love the family room which has a king bed and separate bedroom with a queen sized bed. This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed there and will continue to book there if that room is available.

10/10 Exceptional

This motel is 5 stars for what it is, which is an inexpensive place to stay for a night. We were in the area for a concert and just needed somewhere to sleep. The rooms are small and not fancy but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the check in process was quick and easy with on site parking which was easy to navigate.
