"Excellent location near many stores. OK motel, but the check-in area smelled awful. A large group of loud people smoked and drank on the balcony. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking from my car to my room alone. The coffee maker didn't work. However, I liked the room. It was well-decorated, and the pillows were comfortable. The morning clerks were cold, but the checkout clerk was nice. I don't recommend staying here.2016-03-21 "

"The motel was within walking distance of several shops and restaurants downtown. The room was small but sufficient. No vending machines. Parking was tight, so plan accordingly.2015-10-13 "
