Nice rooms but the office is only open 12 hrs. and there are no room microwaves to warm up food if you arrive or eat something you brought, after hours. The breakfast is junk food & cold cereal " milk available by request", what? So keeping those things in mind, its still a decent place.

We loved it here! Travelling with our teens - coming here felt like going on a sleepover at Grandma's house - in all the right ways. Cozy nostalgia - from the long carpet to the fake plant on a shelf, to the shiny bedspreads - it was quaint & comfortable and felt familiar and welcoming. Room was very spacious (we had the 3-queen room) and the shower was nice, beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Breakfast left much to be desired, but we made do. Would stay here again.

Was a little hesitant as I parked as exterior looks tired but room was comfortable and clean. Needed a microwave and the front desk attendant brought one over from another room willingly. Limited continental breakfast with only cold cereal and packaged pastries and coffee pretty weak. Beds were fine and fridge was large and good working condition.

The motel clerk was very helpful, kind, and efficient.
The beds and shower were amazing. Good coffee. The sink water flowed slowly, just had to be patient. Really enjoyed our stay there.
