They are always nice and accommodating, and you get what you pay for. It is not extravagant, it may or may not be to your liking as it is not new or newly decorated.

I’ll be honest, it is not the greatest place to stay. The staff is super nice, the location for me is super convenient, but other than that if you aren’t getting it for $65/70 a night… I’m not sure you would agree with the value. Again, staff is super nice and pleasant, I just wish it was a little nicer.

The room was filthy. The microwave had food splatters, and fridge door had food gunk. Did not microwave after seeing the condition. One towel’s corner was literally shredded with worn. I had to put towels on carpet floor to walk around. Carpet felt so cringe. Only space I was comfortable to touch was bed. Left without even the shower as the whole room felt so dirty, dusty and musty. Probably the worst ever motel I have stayed. Couldn’t give any lower than 1 star
