Hotel is nice , staff was nice and its in a great location , not far from shopping etc . There's actually 3 restaurants surrounding the hotel , so if you don't want to go far you can literally walk to any of the three !

Pros:

The stay, the location,

I stood there for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before the receptionist came. It first I thought it was self-service check in.

Pass this one up.
Pros:

This was by far one the nastiest motel we’ve ever stayed in. We were too tired to leave and go elsewhere after traveling all day. The reviews seemed really good. There was damaged pieces of wall in the bathroom, hair and filth on the floors up against the wall. The sheets were even put on inside out, however that didn’t cause a problem. lol. The sprinkler system was covered in dust. We would definitely not stay here again. One night was enough. On a positive note, the location was good. Close to restaurants and shopping.
