We stayed at this motel for sn extended period of time over the holidays.The staff were so nice.The weekday Breakfast lady was amazing at her job.And so friendly. The desk people,both night and day were so helpful and kind. Our room was clean.And large compared to some other motels.Plus it was very quiet and in a good location next to stores and eateries. We will definitely be back again!

Nothing seems to work. Between the elevator, doors, and staff, ironing board. Stay at the Best Western down the street and Thank me later. This hotel has gotten a minor room upgrade since the previous time I stayed, TV is nicer is about all though. Curtains still stained with holes, elevator doesn’t work, doors are exit only and morning and I stress Morning staff is incompetent. I was even told by a local to not stay here and I rolled the dice, Lesson learned b because I shortened my stay and had a great stay at the Best Western!

Come here once a month or more. Every time is a new experience with something out of order or in need of service. Won't be long and nothing will be working.
