Clean, comfortable, updated rooms. Close to Old Town. Missed breakfast due to the Balloon Fiesta the first day and missed it the second day because the small breakfast room was too crowded.

This was advertised as a hotel and a Wyndham location, but it is neither. It's a cheap motel with doors that don't seem sealed, letting in far too much noise from a loud highway that frequently features speeding cars and sirens at all hours. The phone number provided did not work. The floors were so dirty that my feet were visibly brown and filthy walking just from the shower to the bed which, having white covers, would be easily stained by the dirt. No slippers. Breakfast was included but pathetic, watery broken drink machines and bread and raw mini waffles, nothing fresh or cooked. I feel I paid too much for an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience, despite only staying one night. I do not recommend it.

I really liked the decor, inside and out. It was pleasing to the eyes. Unfortunately the room we stayed in didnt have the hardware of the top latch on the door. That made me a little uncomfortable however overall the stay was nice and unwinding, which was the goal.

Great Staff.
I rated the property a 4 overall because of the friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms. The motel is on a busy street and early evening it was quite loud, but we didn't notice it much at night. The area around is okay with a few homeless nearby under a bridge. We walked to a nearby restaurant but would not do it when it got darker. This is on the outskirts of the official Old Town area.

My feeling was that it was on a very busy road Central Blvd and traffic noisy until 11 or so, but did get quiet finally. Place was clean, room was large and nice. Staff running the place went out of their way to be helpful. I would stay there again.

Enjoyed a really nice stay here with my children and sisters. We found a room that slept six comfortably. They offered free breakfast in the morning and we're super nice on check-in. It's an older facility but it was clean and quirky. We will definitely stay here again when we travel through again.

Clean budget motel
We chose this motel because of the high rating and the low price, but alas it turned out to be a "too good to be true" situation. I respect the owners and staff for offering a budget motel that is clean. But it was not an 8.4, more like a 6.0. Old, tired, worn out, and noisy! Our room faced the main street outside, and the traffic noise was very loud.

The only good thing was that the room was clean. The TV wouldn't turn on. The room was hopelessly outdated. Very noisy.
