Room was clean and updated. Service was great. I only stayed one night to attend a local music event. Not a place I'd bring a lady but fir a guy, no sweat. The surrounding area us a bit sketchy after dark. My stay was fine.

The location was great. The price was kinda high considering the rooms and amenities. The pictures definitely over sold the room. It seems as if they’re renovating slowly and in a shoty fashion. We found better rooms for cheaper after our first night.

First and foremost the cleaning staff (Ladies) were very nice and polite. Parking on the other hand was very limited and ppl were double parked. I know it's out of their control, but ppl were very inconsiderate being noisy at night, along with the issues of the homeless being on grounds.

Stayed for a wedding

Not the best area but a clean hotel room with a microwave and mini fridge. The shower is large which is nice. I wish they had shampoo and conditioner. One of the bath towels was stained but overall for one night not bad at all.

My room was clean, met the requirements for a basic minimum-price motel. The location is right next to a main street, so it can be noisy. Ask for a room away from the street
