My room was clean and fine for a one night stay. The rooms are a bit dated but seem to be being renovated. Mine had a musty smell but it was otherwise fine. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Liked: Staff & service
The motel was close to the event we attended, so a plus on that. However, the motel is located in a kind of sketchy area, but we had no issues and felt fairly safe. There was a noisy group that came in around 2AM, did not appreciate their rudeness. The room was OK, the shower had a weird, springy bottom, made balance a little tricky. The motel could use a makeover and clean up the area around it. Worked well for our needs and the price was good.

Do not stay here. There is a homeless camp just outside the property. Actually right in front of where you park your car. Police were called the day before but they all came back. Furniture and debris all over the place. I was traveling by myself and did not feel safe. Moved to a different hotel. Couldn’t get a refund.

Staff was friendly but beyond that it was nothing to write home about. Glad we were only there for a few hours to sleep. Not a nice room and breakfast was sorely lacking.
