Liked: Staff & service
This was an average hotel. Nothing special. The area was a little sketchy. Our Uber driver told us to be sure and not walk the area at all. The waffle houses were all locked down, you have to order at a window, no dine in.
The pics on the description look nicer than what you actually get. Kinda like the McDonalds menu. It wasnt horrible. We slept good.
BMFS was amazing.
Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had decent variety. Breakfast area was oddly located right in front of front desk so I took food to my room to eat. Highway adjacent to Hotel was a little noisy.
The rooms were clean and large. The furniture in the room was in like new condition. Mattress was comfortable. Staff was friendly and willing to allow a late check out. Price was very reasonable. Complimentary breakfast was nice. Close to UAH but the bridge that connects to UAH is a haven for homeless. Just good info to know.
Great motel. Very clean. Breakfast was included. It offered the usual continental variety plus fresh waffles. Laundry facility looked new. Both laundry room and ice room were opened by your room card. Door locked behind you, so felt extra secure. Host was friendly. Lots of places to eat in local vacinity. Only a few miles from NASA Rocket Center.
Had pleasant week long stay here. Breakfast could use some enhancement. Otherwise, the facilities were well lit, clean, and well maintained. Personally, I was impressed with the laundry machines.
The property was a good value for the price. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place was clean. The outside area was well lit. There are transient people in the area, but never saw these people on the property.
