The room was clean, the hotel was old but cared for. The location is a bit outside of the busy area, not really walkable to downtown. But for the price, the hotel stay was great.

Quiet while providing the basics. It's clean and easy to access. No continental breakfast or or beach access like the larger chains but the price is less than half. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, this is a good option.

Worth the stay!

This was an amazing find for the price. We stayed only one night on our Roadtrip to Niagara Falls. While the outside of the motel is dated and showing weathered. The rooms are some of the cleanest I have seen and I have seen a lot of hotel/motel rooms. You can tell that they have done some updating such as new linens, the softest hotel towels I’ve ever had, new tub/shower surround. Beds were comfy but pillows were a bit small but luckily we brought our own. Furniture a bit dated but in really good shape. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
