This was my 2nd stay here. Great location, great room, GREAT COFFEE MACHINE in the lobby! Except for rude loud people in the morning, who like to yell at each other right outside your door (not the fault of the establishment) this stay was close to perfection.

Fine if you just need a basic room and bed. The rooms are tight and walls are thin, so it’s a little tiring when there’s a boisterous family next door.

Friendly staff, and the motel is located very near a mall. The amenities lack a fridge and a hair dryer, but besides that, it was a wonderful stay.
