The place was clean, rooms were updated, staff was friendly, priced fairly, but walls were not soundproof (it's an old building). Traffic was loud and we could easily hear through the walls. The complimentary ear plugs were a nice gesture, but doesn't change the building.

I stayed in 5 different motels/ hotels on my 8 day trip and I liked this one the best. The staff was super friendly, the rooms were clean, and the mattress was good. To address some comments I read; yes I could hear a siren before I went to bed, but that was about it. They either just didn't wake me up in the middle of the night, or they weren't happening. And I'd gladly take that any day over a hotel and sharing a hallway with noisy co-guests yelling and going in and out of rooms all night. Also, I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to stay anywhere without hearing some sort of siren, unless you're in a super small town. So anyway yes, I really did like this motel and I would absolutely stay here again. Oh, and there was a gas station directly across the from the property which I found extremely convenient.
