It’s Okay

This is very much a dated motel that has kept itself up. Things are little rickety but work. You get what you need but value to the cost is on the expensive side especially when they are charging twenty dollars a night for parking - that is a total money grab for a place like this. There is room service but they don’t really clean your room that well - pull covers on bed and fresh towels kind of thing. I think it’s the service staff that smokes on the second floor in the evening. At least there is a balcony to help get the smell out. The best thing is just the proximity to walk downtown.

Staff at the reception counter was excellent.She even came to our room to fix the air conditioner as it wasn’t working. She’s very helpful & welcoming. The hotel is quite old & lacking some of the essentials such as full length mirror, lack of hooks in the shower area to hang towel, counter area in the bathroom is not enough for ladies’s toiletries. Another negative is the coffee maker is placed on a small side table- quite low even for a 5ft, 2in tall person
