Jeffrey

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is a fairly basic motel but perfectly fine, clean and comfortable, in an unbeatable location downtown. Rooms are set back a bit from the street so they stay quiet. The parking is enclosed and seems very secure. For me the biggest drawback was loud and fairly ineffective air-conditioning (although it did work). I would definitely stay again.

Cary

Disliked: Amenities
The only two things I liked about the room was price and the mattress. The mattress slept very well. On the other hand, the frame in which the mattress lay made a lot of noise. There aren’t any unique features about the room. Everything is outdated including the motel itself. The furniture is dirty and the AC unit is very noisy and keeps you up all night pretty much. To access the controls to the AC you will have to stand on a chair in order to reach them. That’s dangerous. Because of their rules, you can’t bring any of your personal appliances for example, an air fryer to use. That’s disappointing.

It was nice, but there wasn't heating and the water didn't get hot enough to make me feel not cold. They let me check-in at like 4am, which was really cool of them.

It was LOUD AND NOISY. The desk manager was a prick....I couldnt sleep at all and it was 84 bucks down the drain....he wouldnt give me a room where it was quiet, the adjacent room had a boom box and subwoofer and the desk manager did nothing. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS MOTEL
