Although non-smoking, the room smelled of smoke with some sort of scent to try and cover it up. Noisy.

Not so great
I can’t see why this place has an 8+ star rating. It’s not quiet at all. The heating element was very loud andevery time I got out of bed. The base of the bed squeaked like metal. Basically an overrated motel. The waffle maker needs to be fixed and the breakfast Was less than average.

This is a budget motel. As such it is clean, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Central is a very noisy street.it seems cars like to race and rev their engines on this street at night. Otherwise, it is just fine.

Clean, comfortable, updated rooms. Close to Old Town. Missed breakfast due to the Balloon Fiesta the first day and missed it the second day because the small breakfast room was too crowded.
