This hotel is very conveniently located. It’s close to shops and restaurants. The rooms have been nicely renovated and are very spacious. They do not do any room cleaning without a request, so that is something to keep in mind. The main amenity we missed was a hot tub, but overall this is a great property and we will stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not bad for the price, but felt dated and there were broken things around. Also, I was a couple minutes past 11 and hadn’t checked out, and someone came to my room upset I was still there. It felt very hostile considering it was just a few minutes.

Basic older motel

Very basic motel that seemed rather old. The shower never got hot (just warm enough) and they were stingy with towels (2 bath towels, 2 washcloths and 1 hand towel). No closet. Bed was fine; pillows just okay; not soft and feathery. Breakfast decent. Not a great value for $170/night on a weekday.

Great stay for the $$

Staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was a good size and clean. Room was updated. Bathroom was small but had a new shower stall. Water pressure was not good. Bed was very comfortable. We had asked for extra pillows and they were there when we checked in. That never happens. Would definitely stay here again.
