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.

This was advertised as a hotel and a Wyndham location, but it is neither. It's a cheap motel with doors that don't seem sealed, letting in far too much noise from a loud highway that frequently features speeding cars and sirens at all hours. The phone number provided did not work. The floors were so dirty that my feet were visibly brown and filthy walking just from the shower to the bed which, having white covers, would be easily stained by the dirt. No slippers. Breakfast was included but pathetic, watery broken drink machines and bread and raw mini waffles, nothing fresh or cooked. I feel I paid too much for an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience, despite only staying one night. I do not recommend it.

I really liked the decor, inside and out. It was pleasing to the eyes. Unfortunately the room we stayed in didnt have the hardware of the top latch on the door. That made me a little uncomfortable however overall the stay was nice and unwinding, which was the goal.

Great Staff.
I rated the property a 4 overall because of the friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms. The motel is on a busy street and early evening it was quite loud, but we didn't notice it much at night. The area around is okay with a few homeless nearby under a bridge. We walked to a nearby restaurant but would not do it when it got darker. This is on the outskirts of the official Old Town area.

My feeling was that it was on a very busy road Central Blvd and traffic noisy until 11 or so, but did get quiet finally. Place was clean, room was large and nice. Staff running the place went out of their way to be helpful. I would stay there again.
