Not enough workers to serve breakfast, most tables waiting to take orders so we left after 20 minutes with no contact , rooms comfortable, nice bedside lamps, tubs difficult to get in for old people, very high sides. Close to good restaurants.

Great location. But the real reason I am giving 5 stars is the customer service as Hailey and Heather were extremely kind and helpful. They greet guests with a big smile that makes them feel very welcomed.

Good people, and it's obvious that they've invested in the property, but it is an old motel which greatly effects the comfort level.
