Check in was fast and easy nice Gentlmen at the desk. We were pretty worried about this place because some of the reviews were pretty bad. The room is clean and set up well with all the basics. Pretty quiet and in a great place to easily get around. Glad we gave it a go.
Bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. Our door did not have the additional lock on the upper part of the door. It looked as though the door had been busted into. Lock on bathroom was broken. Prices were fair, and it worked for overnight.
It's a pretty nice motel you can stay in for a couple of days. I was glad to find that the bathroom was really clean and so was the room. Plus it was cheap. Nothing too fancy tho but it was good enough for me and my partner.
Got there super late or early. 5am. Lady rushed me thru check in. Got me room close by and told me not to hurry checking out as i needed the sleep. Room cozy. Showered and slept till 12. Decent place. Slept great
Minimum cockroaches, only 1 drunk man trying to get into our room. And only one incident of a crack head setting off car alarms at 3 am. 4 stars though because there's not enough parking
Our room was clean...no carpet, which I think is much cleaner. Nice shower. Comfy bed and pillows. Microwave, tv and frig. All the basic ammenities at an affordable rate. Breakfast is your choice of fruit, oatmeal, pastry or cereal. All prepackaged except the fruit...and Kurig coffee. Hotel is conveniently located.
