Very friendly owners. Very clean. Enjoyed use of in room fridge and microwave. Our only complaint was that the ice machine wasn’t working well, could only get a cup or so of ice at a time. We’d stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Toilet seat not secure to the bowl. Inadequate water flow in toilet when flushed. Could not handle solid waste without clogging. Poor quality housekeeping. Urine stains on toilet when I checked in. Coffee stains on toilet tank lid. Floor needed to be vacuumed. Room in disrepair but met minimum habitability requirements. Shower was adequate.

Great Sleep!
Some of the best sleep I've ever had in a hotel. Friendly staff and efficient checkin. They missed the wake up call. I had my own alarm but I always like to have backup. Wake up calls should be taken very seriously.

It's a budget motel. Check in was quick and friendly. Room was clean well appointed. My only complaint was a mattress protector that squeaked every time you moved.

Pet friendly room was thumbs up
Room was clean, and even though it was a pet room, there was no residual pet smell or pet hair. Worth it. Around midnight, there was other guest talking loudly in front of our door which set my old pug-dog in bark mode.
