Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed there over Christmas to be close to my family. The staff were welcoming and efficient. When I asked for decaf coffee in the room, staff provided coffee packets for the room coffeemaker. The room was well appointed and clean, with two easily accessible power bar outlets for chargers and electrical appliances. Bed and pillows were very comfortable but the duvet kept slipping around in the duvet cover, so it required frequent adjustments. The room could have used an upgrade on the towels; there were enough but they were thin. I was there during a major snowstorm overnight and was happy to hear the snowplow at 6 a.m. the next morning for easy access to both car and driveway. No frills continental breakfast included muffins, yogurt, fruit and cereals. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

Not for Everyone

This motel, while budget-friendly, may not meet your expectations. I read reviews and was somewhat surprised by what I found. It is rundown, but clean (although there was a mildly unpleasant cat box-like) odor in the room. The bed was comfortable. There are no restaurants or places to shop near-by. There are 2 floors in part of the building and the noise from people walking in the room above is quite loud. There is no microwave in the room but there is a bar fridge. The "light breakfast" is very light - coffee/tea, cereal and muffins - nothing else. The staff is efficient but not especially friendly, except for the cleaning person, who was very nice. I chose this establishment because of proximity to another location. I won't stay there again.
