Exceeded expectations for the price
The room was very clean and in better condition than several other motels I've used in this area and price range. The property appears to be well-maintained overall. Housekeeping staff were helpful and courteous when approached for assistance and didn't bother me before check-out time.

You get what you pay for
Management was pleasant to deal with when checking in. The “king” size bed was actually queen size. Walls are very thin, bring ear plugs.

Clean and Comfortable
We needed a room close to the hospital. This was clean and had the basics. That's all we needed. We were rarely in the room. This wouldn't be a room I would want to just hang out in. It had a frig, micro, tv, good water pressure in the shower. Check in was a bit confusing because that was just down the street. Water and sodas were a 1.00. Room was reasonably price. We would stay here again for this purpose. I wouldn't recommend for a romantic getaway. The room is small and cramped with 2 queen beds. This is perfect if you plan on having activities and or business out of the room.
