Easy on Easy off motel
Nice place. Check in was easy. Easy parking. Probably could do a little better on their Continental breakfast. Yogurt and sugary snacks. But all in all It was a good place to stay for the night.

Will stay again
Great place to stay. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. Will stay there again. The breakfast was mostly packaged baked goods and cereal, yogurt and fruit were also available. The restaurant next door was very good!

0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND
This place is a dump and has bugs. All the rooms smell like smoke and the AC was broken, no refund partial or otherwise, the manger dodged my calls for a week. I called every day I still bug bites from this nasty place. Also, there is no breakfast. They put out a few containers of juice and a handful of prepackaged pastries.

No one works here
No ac in the room and the staff refused to do anything about it. The manager dodges calls and i couldn’t sleep as it was over 90 degrees. The bathtub was visibly dirty, trash under the bed and in a drawer. No breakfast, just coffee and juice at 8:30 when I got there.

Paper thin walls. Can hear every sound in neighbors rooms. Breakfast is only a bowl of oranges and some packaged danishes. Staff was nice. Parking lot well lit. Adjacent to a diner.

The simple price for quality is unmatched. The rooms are easily comparable to hotels that cost twice as much.

The propery was nicer than we expected inside. Our only frustration was the numerous key card failures that caused access inconvience to entry of the motel. Thanks for being dog friendly!

Wonderful for the price
Everything was better than we expected except the breakfast. The breakfast was really grab and go. It worked for us but others may be disappointed.
