Room was clean and the furniture seemed pretty good for the price. Having a kitchen in the unit was super nice. It was nice being able to park right outside the door to the unit. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the self-check in process was very convenient.

Clean and well maintained motel. Comfortable mattress. Nice to have a fridge and a microwave. The location is conveniently located to a supermarket and restaurants. It is not Ritz Carlton but exceeded my expectations for a motel.

What we liked that our room was very clean and there was no smell of any kind in the air, and the price was right. What we didn’t like was there no information about what time on the wall of what time was check out time. We enjoyed the room, for this was not our first time.
