The hotel had been remodeled from I stayed before. Having free breakfast was nice and it was better than some smaller hotels breakfasts. Room was clean and quiet. Parking was good. Good location.

A front glass door was shattered w/ caution tape - not the main entrance but right next to it. An entry door on the end of the building was wide open so anyone could walk in. My room had a slight odor of paint - they may have just painted. Hotel was renovated but still some old stuff that needed updated - shower curtain looked old.

It’s was nice and clean, pretty good for the cost. The room was very nice.

The bathroom was outdated and small, the tub didn’t have a plug so it was hard to bathe my kids. I had to go to the front desk twice about a noise complaint regarding our upstairs guests since they were so loud it kept waking my kids up. Which I guess isn’t the hotels fault to a point as they should have done something first complaint. Other than that it was a nice place.

the facility was clean and comfortable. the location was easy to get to off the highway. it was located near stores and restaurants. all in all it was a good stay. it was also quiet in the hotel and outside the hotel.

the ice machine didn't work on my floor so i had to go to the ground floor for ice. there were not really any other complaints that i had.

The motel was clean and the staff was very friendly also we would stay again.

We didn't like that there were no eggs or bacon or sausage for breakfast. We were both looking forward to breakfast and there was only waffles and cereal and muffins and bread. Also didn't care for the watered down juices that was nasty.

Room was clean, as was the rest of the building. The bed was comfortable.

One thing that bothered us was that the shower tub was very slippery, and there were no supports to hold on to. Being an elderly couple (late 70s and early 80s), it was risking a fall to take a shower.

It was super clean and smelled super fresh and floral. The front desk man was soft spoken and super helpful and gave us a parking spot within eyes view of our room so we could keep an eye on it

Nothing. Everything was practically perfect

I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel that had a room with 3 queen beds. It was nice that no one had to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa sleeper. The room was large and really clean. It also had a nice balcony, nice plus.
