The host was service friendly! Attempts were made to modernize, but this evident that it was an older motel. It is a fair price in the city for its condition. The back safety door didn’t shut correctly so there was a safety concern all night.

We stopped for one night—arrived late. The young man/clerk was wonderful. Unfortunately there was no elevator and our room was on the second floor. He saw that we had a number of items and found a room on the first floor-actually an upgrade. Hotel has a great breakfast, nice pool area. It was clean. Behind car dealership, but safe and quiet. Not real far to dining.

Damp rooms. Not good for allergies.
We have stayed here before and like the proximity to our family but next time we will choose another hotel. I had forgotten about the dampness of the rooms, including smell and carpet dampness. The breakfast was great with a nice variety. The staff was fine. My allergies would kick in everytime I went back to the room. We ran the air conditioner constantly but it did minimal to help.

There wasn't much to like. The carpeted floor was wet, with water dripping from the AC unit. The smell of mold was pervasive. We had to leave, because not only was it disgusting, my grandson was having difficulty breathing.

A clean hotel makes all the diference.
After a long day on the road-14 hours, it was nice to stay at a place that was clean, quiet and right off the highway. Good breakfast- actually the best hotel eggs i think i have ever had - not off a menu. Would recommend this hotel highly.

The beds are horrible (so hard you might as well sleep on floor). Pillow were flat no stuffing they matched how horrible the bed was. The air conditioner did not stay running unless you kept pushing the temp down. It was so hot in our room. Ugh so disappointed 😞
