Middle of the road motel

Blankets were full of burn holes(even though we were in a non smoking room) and were too itchy. Bed was comfortable though and the sheets were clean. Also the ice machine didn't work during our stay. Coffee provided in the morning was good.

Female front desk agent is a natural for the hospitality business. Her ability to make quick, guest-centric decisions which also benefit the company and build guest loyalty was such a relief in this current state of the business. Thank you !

This property is very conveniently located and inexpensive! The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for in terms of the actual property. The rooms are old, outdated, and not the cleanest. There were also plenty of broken things in the rooms, one being the safety lock on the door. If I was traveling alone, I would not have felt safe here because of that, so keep that in mind.

a room was booked for a resident whos apartment was going under renovations but since the resident didn't have an ID they wouldn't let her stay in the room. However the hotel kept the full payment of the room and wont refund any of the money paid up front. The resident never stepped foot in the hotel room.
