This property was exactly what I needed! Something reasonably priced, comfortable with lots of upgrades so that I could have a quick stay overnight while exploring the area. 10/10 will return!

I am absolutely perplexed as to how things could have been this bad. I arrived late (9PM) and my room door was propped open. The bed was wonderful but there was mouse poop, a dirty floor and-- here's the kicker-- only two wash cloths, a towel and a bath mat... which I wish I had realized before hopping in the shower. They claim they have 24 hour service but it took 11 hours to get towels, despite multiple texts and calls to the after-hours folks. I never even got a response on the towel front: I managed to intercept a house keeper to get them. There was no room service while I was there and one roll of TP doesn't cover an extended trip. Ditto on the coffee. I really don't understand how this could have been that bad. I stayed here once before and it was good. I can't see ever going back.

Good enough but rather uncomfortable

Nice enough motel, with a mid-century flair. Unfortunately, the beds are so, so uncomfortable. Our backs may hurt for the next week. Although a nice-to-have, there was also no place semi-comfortable to sit in the room, and the TV was weirdly mounted in a way that made it difficult to watch.

I was delightfully surprised. I was needing to stay near a home I was purchasing so I was looking for a place to sleep as I was busy during the day. The motel was perfect, sorta old school in a good way. GREAT price and great for an overnight stop. Staff was great too.

The hotel has been cutely renovated, but the surrounding area seemed kind of sketchy with the bus stop right out front. The TV in our room (16) is mounted on the wall on the side of one of the beds, almost at the head of the bed so pretty much impossible to lay in bed to watch. In the morning, we realized the coffee maker didn’t work and when we called the office number were told nobody was on site until 11 AM. When we checked in, I had gotten an email with keypad instructions for the room but when we got there, the keypad was not working and I had to call and was told “Oh yeah, we had to take the battery out and hadn’t gotten around to letting you know,” so had to go to the office to get a physical key. Not that big a deal but annoying. The room seemed clean, but it definitely wasn’t spotless. The TV situation was pretty ridiculous and that alone would prevent me from staying there again. Along with it being in a horrible location, having to log into PlutoTV to watch anything was super frustrating.

Not what I thought it would be

I would look elsewhere. My room had many bugs, the TV was completely disconnected, the coffee maker was dirty, it took 15 minutes to get hot water in the shower, and the second room floor above me sounded like they were having an exorcism all night.

Quiet and pleasant...need outdoor seating

Very nice new room, comfortable beds, Keurig coffee maker but needed de-escalating...the absolute worst part was the cable down .no TV! But going to give 15 percent off.,..not sure that is enough. Delish restaurant down the road..Big 5...sat outside..very good food. Oh one more thing better bring eye mask no black out curtains way too much light

Our toilet was not operational without assistance from me (had to dump water in the back to flush). Also, the coffee maker needed to be de-scaled for usage. The attendant offered us a 25% discount for our troubles but did not respond to calls or emails from Hotels.com for verification.
