It was a fine stay for a motel... But thete was very little for the price. Most motels have at least a kettle and more than one roll of toilet paper. It was a little dissapointing I wouldn't even make a cup of tea or coffee. King bed was nice, but the pillows were hard and flat. So waking up feeling rested didn't happen. However, we were here for a festival, so we just needed somewhere to wash up and sleep. Price was decent, so I'd use this place again. Just bring my own pillows, towels and amenities (kettle/coffee maker).

The owners are lovely, the room was clean, spacious and quiet, however there seem to be adjacent rooms rented out to people who look like they were homeless yesterday. Also, our room was at the end of one row and adjacent at 90 degrees was the next row and outside their door was a stroller, a suitcase and a walker- right in the way, blocking accezs to our room. When i asked the owner about it she said the occupants were slowly taking things inside the room however we stayed 2 nights and it was always in the way. I had to fold up the walker and push it aside to get our suitcases out into the car! I'm sure it would be considered a fire hazard.

There were threadbare linens and frayed towels. Old bedspreads but it was clean.The lady at check-in was nice and she was also the house keeper. The room did not feel safe as the only lock was a button on the door knob.

Gentleman at checkin was nice. Room was spacious, i had a microwave, fridge and even a kitchen type sink. Bed was ok, not soft like fancy hotels but I wasn't expecting that for the price I paid :) I was comfortable for the night. Parking was right outside my door. Drop box for keys for easy checkout.

Pass on this one

Room was dark and dingy. In desperate need of upgrades. Chair was dirty. Sheets had stains on them. Comforter had a hole on the top of it. Air conditioner was duct taped together. Overall dumpy.

Clearly this property is a shelter over flow which does not bother me however it would have been nice to be informed ahead of time. The room was clean but there was not enough towels for the amount of beds.
