Definitely an older hotel. The towels have been used many, many times and were not fluffy at all. There was a dripping in one of the stairwells so the carpet was wet.
The breakfast was good and the cost of my stay was low so those were good points.

Courteous staff. Fair bed and breakfast. The halls were freezing which made the bathroom area on the cold side. The hand towels smelled funny and the bathroom floor was a bit sticky. But all in all a good value for the price.
This hotel has been upgraded in the past few years and though the outside is still dated, the inside is well taken care of. Nice pool for the kids, plenty of parking, the breakfast was very clean and well maintained and the beds were comfortable. Its a great affordable choice.
Loved the courtyard access and adjoining room. Staff was excellent and very accommodating. Breakfast was very good. Have stayed there before and will again.
The customer service after out stay was fantastic!
The motel was very clean and loved the bathroom layout with extra " getting ready " area outside bathroom.
I was not aware we couldn’t add a three year-old to our reservation so it was a tussle. I wanted my money back but then we settled for $40 to add an extra guest. We had a good time overall though and they were super nice.
Rooms were clean, and location was convenient to the interstate. Staff was friendly, and the breakfast was good. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
