"The motel was fine, but there was no daily housekeeping, and no breakfast was provided. I did like that I was able to get a smoking room, and that I could park right outside my room door.2021-07-03 "
"The location was convenient, but the room was old and the front desk clerk was harried. I wouldn't stay here again.2021-05-31 "
"The price was right. Small but clean room. The beds were too firm; I might as well have been sleeping on the sidewalk. The motel staff was nice. 2019-05-16 "

"The hotel was relatively old, but the room was large and the beds were fine. The fridge should've been on a small table instead of on the floor. Good breakfast area by the pool, and the food was more than adequate. The elevators were a little slow, but the staff was friendly and parking was good.2019-04-17 "
