The man at the front desk was very nice and efficient. I love that they give you a key and not plastic. I love this motel! As a single female traveller I felt safe. The room was spacious and would have been great for having guests over. Everything was clean and the price was the best. The trees and grass make it feel like you are staying in a garden which has a nice calming peaceful effect. Ya I n...

Room was very clean and ha amenities. The only problem was the bathroom. The toilet didn't seem affixed to the floor and it was very small. My 6 ft husband had his knees in his face. It was also difficult for me to get off of because of height and stability. They need to switch that out for something taller.

I had called them to specifically request that there was a functional private bathroom, this wasn’t the case, the shower/bathtub wasn’t working and my mom was told to go to another room to then shower ? The room had nothing No towels, no amenities...

A very basic place to stay but the environment didn't feel sketchy, the room was a decent size for two-four people (King Room) and the staff were very friendly! It was also super close to the airport which was lovely. They don't have a super big breakfast, it's more like an assortment of snacks and they also don't have cutlery available for guests, so just keep that in mind. My partner and I are...

Pretty good place overall. It has that old motel charm about it — door opens onto the parking lot. Very quiet hotel. Heard no noise from the road. Very clean and great service from the front desk at checkin and checkout. Ground staff were friendly and so were the cleaning ladies. Breakfast is on the lighter side, but hey it’s included. Can’t complain.
