Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I applied for a refund couple times already because the motel was closed and I was unable to stay there. However, I have not yet received any response. This situation is unacceptable. Please process the refund immediately.I expect your prompt attention and resolution of this matter without further delay.
Very nice staff. Old hotel, looks like they have been trying to remodel. Really noisy, next to a main street. We probably will not stay there again. But….. fair price.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Bathroom did not appear to have been properly cleaned prior to our checking in.
Sad little breakfast: coffee, fruit, cereal, and plastic wrapped sweet rolls or muffins. Juice machine was broken. No vent in the bathroom. Check in was quick and easy, but that's the only postive thing.
