Pros:

The location was good, close to the outlets and food places.

Cons:

This is an older motel, and enough though they are clean the carpets are in need of a thorough cleaning. Sound insulation between rooms is also quite poor. When the rooms next door were occupied, you could clearly hear conversations through the walls, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

A good place to stay for the night while travelling.
Pros:

Great location, close to the highway. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Room was a bit stuffy and hot upon arrival. Once AC adjusted, it got better. The small refrigerator was very noisy, has to turn off to sleep. There was a slight odor in the room, maybe needs a carpet cleaning.

Would definitely recommend.
Pros:

Breakfast offered alot of different options, from waffles, to fresh fruit, coffee, juice, hot chocolate to eggs, and sausage. Our room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the hotel was quiet. Very relaxing. Plus the lady that did our check in was friendly, gave us some suggestions for local restaurants.

Cons:

We didn't have any negative experiences during our stay.
