Overall ok. There was a musty smell when you walked into the room. The air conditioner was loud and woke me every time it kicked on. There was also another guest that let their child run the hall and would holler - I know there’s nothing the hotel can do about that. Also, the mold in the corners of the shower was gross to see.

The host was service friendly! Attempts were made to modernize, but this evident that it was an older motel. It is a fair price in the city for its condition. The back safety door didn’t shut correctly so there was a safety concern all night.

We stopped for one night—arrived late. The young man/clerk was wonderful. Unfortunately there was no elevator and our room was on the second floor. He saw that we had a number of items and found a room on the first floor-actually an upgrade. Hotel has a great breakfast, nice pool area. It was clean. Behind car dealership, but safe and quiet. Not real far to dining.

Damp rooms. Not good for allergies.
We have stayed here before and like the proximity to our family but next time we will choose another hotel. I had forgotten about the dampness of the rooms, including smell and carpet dampness. The breakfast was great with a nice variety. The staff was fine. My allergies would kick in everytime I went back to the room. We ran the air conditioner constantly but it did minimal to help.

There wasn't much to like. The carpeted floor was wet, with water dripping from the AC unit. The smell of mold was pervasive. We had to leave, because not only was it disgusting, my grandson was having difficulty breathing.
