"Nice, comfortable room. The hotel staff was professional, and the food at the sports bar was great.2019-04-16"
"The computer desk almost tipped over when I used it. The granite top for the sink was poorly repaired. We had to listen to cheerleading coaches preparing all night. When we asked them to be quiet, they laughed and were rude. Not a good hotel stay.2018-06-03"
"I was well-pleased. There's no reason not to stay at this hotel.2016-05-15"
"The hotel had poorly-repaired damage to the ceiling and walls in the hallway, and the carpet was unattractive. The staff addressed problems with a rowdy group in the hallway late at night. Loud music from a car in the parking lot woke me at 3 AM. The breakfast buffet wasn't free.2015-09-01"

"The room was clean and comfortable, and the motel staff was friendly and helpful.2020-02-03"
"This is an older motel that's been completely remodeled. We really liked the hardwood floors and the new, comfortable bed. However, the bed had metal bars that stuck out, and I hit my ankle on it several times. Great housekeeping; the room was immaculate. No continental breakfast, but coffee and tea were available in the room, and there were some restaurants steps from the motel. My dog stayed for free. I definitely got more than I paid for.2016-06-01"
