This motel is well maintained for an older property. The best parts were the friendly staff and the hot, full breakfast! The worst parts were the 'too soft' bed and the part of downtown you would not want to go for a morning walk.

This hotel everything I needed as a solo male traveler. It had a frig, a microwave, free gated parking, decent internet, an outside pool and a free breakfast at a really low rate. After all the taxes and surcharges I think I only paid $95 so it was very affordable. The location is not great as it’s maybe a mile from the busier parts of downtown and yes I did see some homeless people in the area but it worked well for me.

Very dirty, VERY dirty Hair in tub hair on floor. very loud guests (not in their control) but when I asked for it to be corrected they never acted on it. said they would call and did not. I ended up leaving early and did not get a refund for the days I was not there. first night basically did not sleep because of the noise. Tough part is they just do not follow-up to make it better.

I didn't feel safe

Not a great area, surrounded by dr*g users and unhoused individuals, and we heard a lot of gunshots. The place was not well cleaned. The people running the place were nice, friendly and welcoming, but there were plenty of people who seem to be living at the hotel who I hope are getting back on their feet, but appeared to still hold a 'particular lifestyle.'
