Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Was an older motel, but knew that and for the price, would stay there again as very close to the Hard Rock. Rooms were roomy and clean. Bring your own pillows and towels would be my only recommendation for any one wanting to stay here

Improvement needed

Well...if you just need a place to "lay" your head...it was OK. Newer mattress & better updated bathroom area is needed. The office was a window you stood outside of and spoke through it via microphone. Not real good business practice in my eyes. For the price of the room...simply needs to be better. Thanks!

Conveniently located has it’s pros and cons

Hotel was clean, although somewhat rundown & it did have a refrigerator and microwave although it would’ve been nice not to have to go to the office to ask for a remote control for the television, would’ve called the office unfortunately the telephone in the room was a dummy telephone that didn’t walk. There was quite a bit of traffic noise and the daycare right next door to the hotel was quite noisy in the morning. The location was extremely convenient for our plans for the evening. Having said that I’m grateful we didn’t have to stay a second night
