The room was clean and the staff friendly. It is an old motel but was perfect for a quick stay while on the road as it is inexpensive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room was very nicely remodeled but very BASIC....the concierge Dennis was available 24/7 & provided cups, bottled water & kleenex upon our request & delivered them to our room. The bed was very comfortable. There was no remote with the TV so we had to use the buttons on the TV itself. All in all if you're looking for a place to sleep/shower it's great for the price. Would stay there again..close to downtown!
