Great breakfast, good coffee.(Eggs, meats, potatoes, waffles, yogurt, fruit, fried burritos oatmeal and celophane muffins) The room was spacious, but defects in walls had white crack filler that had not been painted yet. Sink was old and discolored with no stopper and weak water flow. Bathtub shower had good shower head. Nice towels. Adequate electric outlets and lamps. Nice M/W and fridge Overall good value. Depressing downtown location, but appeared safe.

The people were nice. The service was great, and there was an *actual* Continental breakfast (sausage, eggs, coffee, etc) rather than a sad frozen burrito like most motels.

Staff were excellent and very helpful. The flowers on the balconies and front of the motel added a nice touch to an older motel. Best breakfast with many options including, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fruit, cappuccino, coffee, orange and apple juice that was being restocked even though the breakfast area would be closed in less than 30 minutes. Room was spacious and clean and we could park right outside our door. We walked for several blocks after dark and felt safe. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a very nice place. Very friendly staff. I had low expectations when I pulled in but they were greatly exceeded. The room was very clean and they had an excellent breakfast selection. My only complaint was the bed was too soft for my personal preference, and the pillows too small.
