This motel was the cleanest motel I have stayed in recent months. The lawns were clean even though they had some restorations going on. It was quiet both inside and outside despite being close to the Interstate and busy street. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Works in progress but showing signs of potential.
Newly remodeling or still works in progress. Not bad. Bed was top notch. Pillows good. bath good. Good shower water pressure. Room Decor was hip and new. Window darkening shades: good. Pool space is good. Workout room- good. . The bad: Good grief. Fix these guest room doors! Put some weatherstripping around the door jambs. Nothing worse than seeing bright light shining around the doors all night. Had to stuff towels around the doors to darken room. Also: no door strike around the Onity keyless lockset. Come on guys. You just carved a hole into the jamb and left it. Totally unsecure. Also what's with the baby blue paint scheme on these doors and trim? Looks cheap, dated and crappy. The exterior side entrances are crap! Spend some money and replace these 1970's hunks of crap with decent aluminum storefront doors. All in all....You did some things good and then dropped the ball on the other items.

The pool was unfortunately less than 75 degrees and the main reason we stayed was to let the kids swim. It was freezing. We also we repeatedly unable to get in our room due to the keys not working. The staff did their best to be helpful but overall the stay didn't turn out as we hoped.

Clean room but not great tub.
Comfortable bed, clean room, but I was very irritated that the tub took almost two hours to remotely fill… and then the jacuzzi jets didn’t even work. I would’ve just got a regular room if I had known that.

It ticked all the boxes. It’s obviously an older building, but it was clean, beds were comfortable, room had a mini fridge and microwave. Air conditioner took a while to get the room cooled off. Nothing spectacular but no complaints either.

Not my first choice
Overall, it was OK. The other hotel we usually stay at was full. This is an older worn hotel that has a fresh coat of paint and new furnishings in the rooms. On the surface it looks good, but if you look close, you can tell it still needs some work. For example, doors, trim and woodworking are worn. I would stay here again, but it would not be my first choice.
