Reviews and Ratings
The motel is conveniently located close to downtown and offers a good value for its price. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, though my room wasn't ready even after 2 hours past the check-in time. The service was friendly and prompt.
I stayed at the hotel and found it to be a solid choice. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, though there were only double beds and occasional power cuts. While the location was convenient, with good security, the presence of homeless people nearby was a downside. The dining options were limited, with cold coffee and pastries offered. The pool was nice and clean, but the beds were uncomfortable.
The hotel provided a mixed experience. The rooms were big, clean, and honored my early check-in request, featuring newer flooring and counters in the shower. On the downside, the service for cleaning our room was not very friendly. The location was too noisy with heavy traffic but ideal for a local needing a place to live. The dining experience was sparse with just coffee, juice, and packaged pastries.
