I was surprised how quiet the room was considering it was close to the road. Parking was a little tight because of some larger vehicles in the parking lot. I liked the large mini fridge with freezer section. Very nice for the price for one night.

This small mom & pop motel was very clean and had nicely remodeled rooms. Everything in the room worked as it should. It was quiet at night and the office lady was friendly. The dog fee is reasonable--$20. We'll definitely stay here again!

This is a great little motel that has been renovated. We traveled with our two small dogs which has lead us to many subquality rooms. We were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff. The price was extremely reasonable.

It was one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. They definitely tried to create a comfortable room. But, I could feel every spring in the bed and there wasn’t enough open parking. It seemed like they stored vehicles in the tiny parking lot and I didn’t feel safe in the neighborhood. The room next to me was loudly under construction until 9:30 pm.

Hotel is good place to stay if you are looking for a clean, basic place to stay while passing through the area. The hotel is small, so parking is a little tight. The only downside was that the smokers sit in front of their rooms doing their thing, so there was quite a nasty stench whenever I stepped outside.

Super friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed. Affordable for an overnight stay without all the bells and whistles. We will stay there again on our next trip through Princeton. Pet friendly too without an enormous pet fee.

At first entry the room had an odor. I turned on fans and left for dinner where I took the “how was your check in” survey. There I mentioned the odor. Shortly after I got back the lady from check in desk came to my room and offered me a new one explaining that they had just finished construction in that room. That was very kind of her and I appreciated the offer but after airing the room out I did t need to move.

First it is a motel, not a hotel. So it is not fancy. But honestly it would rank higher than a number of hotels in the same $100 per night price range. Room looked fairly modern and was very very clean. It had a fridge and a microwave and a TV with a large number of channels. Fast internet. They provided a nice welcome book with information about the area. Checking and check out were easy. Plenty of towels and soaps and shampoos in the room. Cannot say a bad thing about it. For the price and convenience it was awesome.

I was scared what it would be like for a cheaper property than we are used to. For reference, we usually stay at a comfort inn or similar type hotel. The bathroom was as good, vinyl floors helped with cleanliness. The only thing I wasn’t impressed with was the bed. We were supposed to have a queen pillow top. It was a full with inner springs. It wasn’t great but was ok for the price of the hotel. I didn’t roll towards the middle anyway.

If you are looking for a place to spend the night while passing through, this is a great choice. It is on one of the busier streets in town, so about 6 AM trucks started driving by, but otherwise it was fairly quiet. The only other issue is that outlets for charging your electronics are scarce.

The reviews rave about this place I guess because it was renovated recently, but it's still an old motel with paper thin walls. And they forgot to update the mattresses. I didn't sleep well, in part because of the bed and because it was so humid. The HVAC unit didn't seem to keep up, and at one point got stuck on heat and wouldn't turn off. Then I could hear someone in the next room talking in his sleep throughout the night...then I heard the traffic on the highway pick up at 5am. It was clean though.
