8/10 Very good

Clean, but no-nonsense. It was a good overnight stay. The bed was comfy, no noise, and a tray of goodies was in the room. There is no hair dryer, and it is a bit dated. Good choice for a very affordable stay. Across the street the 1188 had excellent food and staff!

This place looked a bit shady at first site, but the inside was very nicely decorated and clean! The welcome water and snacks were a great added bonus! The motel is walkable to a few restaurants as well. Good stay for one night!

Room was clean and places to eat nearby. I prefer properties that offer ice, tissue, and breakfast. Small tight parking

Parking was a bit tight for a large truck but an older property so not a big deal. Hotel was very clean and surprisingly as modernized as could be. Very clean and comfortable bed

It was a cute little place with little extra amenities we didnt expect in the room. They had donuts and water waiting for us. Check in was fast and the attendent was very nice. We had an error with our reservations but he was so calm and didnt use fault. Just very nonchalant. He even happily brought us some extra towels. We had not complaints about the service, amenities, or our room. We didnt really care for the sharp narrow entry into the motel but it worked and was very private.

If you're looking for a nice and convenient place to stay, this is the place. Cozy place and within walking distance to a nice restaurant/brewery. I tried to get a room for my return trip back home and they were already booked up. Parking was a little tight but doable.

Very clean and many nice touches. My one and only complaint was that the bed was not the most comfortable and it felt a bit like the foot of the bed was a smidge higher than the head. Didn't really sleep well because of that. Might just be the particular room we were in.

Great place to stay with a nice upper hangout area with green grass, corn hole, picnic table and a fire pit. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and the rooms were all newly remodeled and very clean and comfortable.
