The bed was comfortable and the linens soft and crisp. The room was basic but clean. Water starting to run in the tub was VERY loud and woke me when my partner started to shower. Check in staff were friendly and welcoming.

This is a low-cost hotel, so don't have many expectations. The bedcover was not clean. There was some sort of red fuzz on the surface, as if someone slept on top of it. There were cigarette burns on some of the room fixtures. I was unable to get the TV working. At least the bedsheets were clean.

You get what you pay for. The tv was good. The floors were sticky which is unforgiveable. Not enough lighting. One light in the room and one light in the bathroom. There is one chair. There isn't a bath mat in the bathtub / shower therefore the bathtub is a fall waiting to happen.

The ad said room has kitchenette but the room doesnt have it. Upon asking to the receptionist, he said the kitchen from all rooms where removed 2-3 months ago. They dont offer any more kitchenette option. In Bathroom, bathing area have glass so that a person who is in another building on the same level could see everything The AC is too old that it looks too unsafe and scary to use. The window locks are broken that anyone cpuld easily open it and if kids are there and they might open it and cause an accident. No safety nets on windows. If needed, pictures can be provided. Very unpleasant experience as there is nothing that matches the description provided.
There's a glass in the bath area which doesnt give privacy so had to cover it with newspapers
The lock for the window is broken which is very unsafe
No kitchenette available even though mehtioned in the description

Is this property an undiscovered gem? No. Is it an apparently underutilized resource? Absolutely. No frills. Not particularly pretty. Limited parking. BUT… if passing thru and on a budget, this motel checks all the necessary boxes. Clean. Pet friendly. Fairly quiet. One floor. Restaurants nearby. Comfortable beds.

The property appears to be being upgraded. The room was spotless and new appliances, bedding, paint, flooring. Hoping for a good nights sleep travelling long days - sadly the drunk fighting couple next door created much noise from 1 to 5 am. Bad luck on our part. Won’t likely stay again, will be wanting 24 hour desk in future. That said / motel itself was adequate for overnight stay.
