I have stayed here several times before, seems the maintenance on the rooms have gone down hill. There was an odor in the room.Also there was a mix up with the rooms..where they had booked my room twice. Staff was curteous in getting it straightened out,but situation left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if will be staying there again.

This was my second week long stay at this motel. Both times have been phenomenal and I intend to continue using this motel for the remainder of my visits for school. Everything is super clean and the staff is fantastic. Only complaint I have is the wifi. Network speeds are fine, but the connection gets very spotty towards the back of the room, where the desk and bed are. This isn't ideal since I'm down here for school, but I was able to manage just fine. It's not necessary, but it would be nice to see range extenders, or additional routers added to have more consistent network connections throughout the rooms
