The location was ideal for our needs. I would have liked to be able to connect the TV to free Youtube to get the newsfeeds I normally look at daily rather than having to view on the smaller screen on my laptop.
Was a nice place, sadly the details on here hadnt been updated and there was no spa bath, which is why i booked in the first place, did offer a refund to find somewhere else but was only night i had child free and nothing else was available. But overall the bed was good and owner was really lovely.
Nice, clean room, great staff. No problem with street noise but could hear noise from other rooms (TV & voices). Once other guests went to sleep, it was quiet. Some sound proofing might be helpful.
The room was very clean, spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Location was perfect and the neighborhood was quiet. Would definitely stay again.
I payed for the motel when i booked it with expedia
then when i checked into the motel the manager took down my credit card number when i got home found out he had charged me as well i called him he said the motel does not use expedia

I picked this motel for the location and the price.
It was a 1 night stay. For those reasons it met my needs.
General impression of the unit is that it needs updating and a deep clean. Especially in the shower.
I could not get the lights over the bed to work. One of the fixtures felt like it was broken.
The fan in the bathroom has a broken cord that makes it very difficult to turn on.
Ants were on the kitchen bench in the morning although I had very little food out.
The bed cover and carpet had stains.
I would not stay again.
