Staff, both evening and morning, were exceptional. The property is older but well maintained. Wonderful amenities including refrigerator with freezer, stove, free parking, well placed outlets and complimentary continental breakfast. I appreciate the medical discount offering.

Very clean, small room. Friendly, helpful staff. Walls were a little thin, but not too bad.

I've stayed here before and will stay here again. It's a budget hotel/motel but honestly, the bed was as comfy as a place 3X the price. Everything was clean. The staff was super nice. Check in took 30 seconds. For my tastes, the place is def worn around the edges, decor a bit dated and not appeal to some, and it's not what I would say -- pretty. But everything worked, I got a good night's sleep, things were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you're a fussy type and have a certain aesthetic, you won't like it. If you can see past old (but functional) elements, and don't need everything to feel like a designer layout, you could do OK here.
