Terrible sleep due to noise in the area and adjoining rooms occupants.
Pros:

Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Although fresh nor processed hash browns for breakfast would be a healthier option.

Cons:

The rooms are very well used. They are well worn and in a state of disrepair. The shower surround was cracked with 4 large cracks. The air con machine surround was damaged. The curtains do not block the light from outside. The curtains do not fit tightly around the walls or near the ceiling. The beds are very lumpy and the pillows are very firm and lumpy. Noise from adjoining rooms was very loud.

Clean hotel. I wouldn’t stay there again unless it was the ground level and on the other side of the hotel away from all
Pros:

The room and hotel were clean. The staff were very nice and we were on the second floor and there was no elevator, so the front desk girl carried up our luggage for us. I recently had knee surgery and never would’ve booked. This had I known there was no elevator.

Cons:

We were on the second floor, and there was a bar hooked onto the hotel, and it was right below us, and spilled out into the parking lot and there was a lot of yelling and screaming and people playing guitars and drunk singing, and that never ended till after 2 AM. So didn’t get a good sleep.

Except for parking it was great
Pros:

Very Good Breakfast and that you had security guards on duty 24/7

Cons:

Our room was on the 2nd floor but there was no reserved spot for us as the parking lot was always full in the evening for the people in the bar. Other rooms with a room number in the 100's had a spot for them This is something that the motel needs to improve

Moderate price but needs upgrades to meet standards.
Pros:

Very nice breakfast included. Good coffee !

Cons:

Rooms need freshened up. Bathtub needs replaced the finish is off in it. Doors are in rough shape and old. The queen bed next to the window in room 115 needs totally replaced. It sounds like it’s broken and noisy to even sit down on.

We won't be back...
Pros:

I liked that it still has tubs for baths and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I wasn't happy with peolle in the room beside us who were extremely loud at 3 am bringing their motorcycle into their room.
The amount of homeless people who were lingering outside our area was not a good feeling. It was not safe to go back to our vehicle at any time if we had to.
