2/10 Poor

The front desk attendee was quite rude, like…shockingly rude. The shower had one setting - scaldingly hot. The room is no frills but fine. Great location, though.

6/10 Good

The room smelled like mothballs/ bad smell when I walked in. Walls are crazy thin, you can hear everything from outside to next door and a couple doors down! The front lady staff isn’t very friendly but she gets the job done. The price for this place idk…could’ve been cheaper for what you get. It is cleaned daily, has a refrigerator and near an easily accessible shopping/restaurant area. Overall I would give this place 3/5, not bad not good just meh in the middle. If you’re looking for a cheaper place to stay, just to lay your head this place will do.

Stayed two nights. Check in was easy. Bed was comfortable. Said it was a queen bed but seemed more like a full. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again

4/10 Fair

The light by the bed didn’t work. The floor heater didn’t work. The window shade wouldn’t move. And the employee was really rude when I had a very simple question about the parking. Would not stay here again.

Limited parking. Was told the vacant lot adjacent to the motel (yes, it’s a motel, not a hotel) was “park at your own risk.” I had to park on the street.
