It was close enough to walk to everything or take the trolley, which was nice. The room had no where to put your things and it was very noisy. The bed was uncomfortable and everything smelled musty.

Our room was not the same as the photos. Quite different and not nearly as nice. It was a king suite and we couldn't stay there. The open area was like a dentist office. The staff was good with letting us see other rooms and we downgraded to the king deluxe. The bad sound like old file cabinets. The best part about the hotel is the location. But to be honest I probably wouldn't stay there again.

If the front of this property was cleaned up, the garden street view, it would look a lot better. If we hadn’t booked and paid for this room we would have kept driving, The room was great for 1 or 2 nights.

Good but can be better.
The property was located in a nice area with walking distances to activities and restaurants. The front desk ladies were super nice and welcoming. Unfortunately, the rooms outside/inside weren’t kept up properly or just poorly fixed. The room we stayed in the bed was slightly uncomfortable. The tv had poor signal not giving us a chance to watch tv fully without having buffering visuals. The shower has cracked pieces of wall, the water didn’t even get hot along with the water pressure being trash, the sliding door was broken didn’t close fully. The door entrance for the bathroom coming out was cracked and just poorly covered or just didn’t attempt to fix it. I overall am disappointed because it was not my first time staying here, I was here back in 2021 of June double bed rooms were newly renovated and nice looking then any of the rooms now. I’m hoping that they’ll focus on these reviews and fix the single bed rooms in front of office.

Great location but hotel services need some work
I enjoyed the location of the hotel, it was convenient for all the festivities in the area. For the hotel itself, the water pressure needs be fixed in the shower. Poor water flow from the shower head. The free breakfast buffet was generic as it gets. Yes it’s free but not recommended.

Old property. Budget price puts you in very old small rooms at end of an old hallway. Offered a deluxe room for $10.00 more. Good breakfast food choices.

Very unsavory area. There were some men sitting in a car outside our room for a long time just sitting there. They have attempted to upgrade the rooms but the overall motel is not somewhere I feel comfortable staying at during a visit to town.
