Overall not too bad for the purpose of having a place to stay the night for an event. Lots of parking available and good location. The furniture had some stains that were a bit off putting. Reasonable place for the price.

To expensive for an old out of date motel. They had small shampoo bottles ( minis) and cheap motel bar soap (mini). Staff was good to us. I asked for a downstairs room and they provided that.

Office staff was excellent, respectful, honest, and helpful. The parking lot was clean and had plenty of handicapped parking. Our room had clean towels and fresh sheets, but the floor was a little dirty. Overall, it was perfect, and we will definitely return.
