Budget motel with outdated interior, thin walls. Bed was comfortable and overall the apartment was spacious. No private balcony and the walls are very thin and traffic could be heard all night and day. Towels a bit rough and cheap feeling. Only hand soap provided otherwise no shampoo, conditioner or body soap. Lots of cracks in walls, door, mold in the shower, loose drain.

Good spot for an inexpensive quick overnight.

I was checking in late. The front desk called to coordinate with me and was accomodating. The furnishings were older and worn, but everything was clean and the linens were fresh and soft. It was nicely decorated and pretty. Everything was well maintained and they even had an electric blanket. I only needed a place to sleep for a couple of hours. I'd almost booked a hostle but this price was nearly the same and private. I'm glad i did! I would stay again. The parkinglot is small and a bit hard to get out of, but the parking itself was good.

Great location, the beds were comfortable and you couldn't hear the road noise but sadly the unit was extremely dirty. There was a large crack in the toilet bowl, no soap, only half a roll of toilet paper for a family of 4 and no complimentary milk. The complex in general was rather run down
