The room seemed recently updated, new window was especially noticeable being this was a motel not a hotel. Bed and pillows were nice also. However, although I had to sign a waiver that I would not smoke, the room did smell smoky. I’ve stayed in worse but I’ve also stayed in much better

Hotel was excellent. Sadly enough i had bad and loud neighbors in the next room. I had to call the front desk. The front desk extended my checkout so i could get some rest. They were all very kind, friendly, and professional.

The room smelled of year old syrupy urine when we arrived. Asked the hotel staff to clean it again but after our initial arrival, we booked somewhere else for the evening. Save your money and spend the extra $100 at a nicer hotel in the area.
