This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.

Look, it's an old style motel. It's not the Ritz. And it looks worse than normal because they're renovating. But the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is great. For the money, you can't beat it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were a little outdated, but other than that we loved having a full kitchen for a couple dollars more. We were impressed when we got a phone call from the staff before our stay, and equally so when they greeted us by name at check-in. My only complaint is the shower head pressure was too hard and was pretty uncomfortable.
