My husband and I spent a month here. It was comfortable and clean! I felt very safe walking my dog before bedtime. The employees were friendly and super helpful! We would stay here again.

Not a 2 start motel.
Not a 2 star motel as advertised. I would give it a 1 star and I would not stay there again. Room smelled old and musty. Carpet may have been original and there is no way I would walk barefoot on it. No soap or shampoo provided.

Our room, 110, was very comfortable. The aircon worked nicely, the bedding was clean, and mattress was new and quite comfortable. For the price, this little gem was well worth the stay!

Nice place!
I was just looking for a nice clean comfy bed to sleep in after going to a concert at the Ledge Amphitheater. That’s exactly what we got & within walking distance to boot. Very nice!

Overall the property is dated. It appears they have started renovations, but they are far from complete. The bed was comfortable and the rooms were clean. Unfortunately the halls and especially the room had a heavy cigarette smoke smell that was in the walls and carpet. I am allergic and it made for a bad night of sleep and a headache in the morning. Also when checking in I was informed that they charge a pet fee even for service animals, which is not what is listed in the property details. We have never run into this and travel very regularly. We would not stay here again.

The curtains in my room has dried food on them, not a lot of plug ins, no stationary in room. I asked front desk for a pen and they questioned why. A lot of sketchy people wandering around outside. Didn’t feel safe. Not a happy stay.
