Exactly what I am looking for: comfortable bed, hot shower, heater that gets the room toasty quickly, quiet, parking next to my room, very reasonable price - plus my puppy can stay with me for free! Can’t beat that!

Management issues
The next room over had a large party after calling the front desk multiple times, someone finally answered. He spoke with the occupants. The minute he left, they started back up. Music so loud the walls were shaking. Called again, he tried to say he already took care of it. He went back and then there was an argument. It started again. Refused request for different room. Downstairs baby woke up & screamed. Slept from about 4 am to 7 when the music started back up. Worst stay ever.

They tried to remodel an old motel but did a bad job of it. No amenities, not even a coffee maker. Hope you do not need the A/C or heater, it was so loud we had to turn it off and use extra blankets.

I would have been fine with the place. RG was welcoming, but the cleaner smell was so overwhelming!, an ammonia smell, that I could not breathe as I walked in at 3:00pm. I changed to another room upstairs which seemed O.K. as I opened the window and door. I left the window open the next day, but when I returned at 9:30pm the cleaner smell was horrid. I opened the window and door for about 30 minutes before I would attempt to use the room. The lodger next door to me had to do the same thing. NOT ACCEPTABLE! I told RG, the fellow behind the desk. I will not stay there again because of their cleaners. I worried about my health, the smell is in the woodwork.

This motel charges an additional fee if you book online, thus eliminating any savings by booking on line. For a single person room expect to pay $100/night. Definitely not worth it; stay elsewhere! Downstairs rooms are incessantly noisy from idiots engaging their car alarms at all hours of the day and night.

motel was near main street downtown and shops
Stay was OK. Continental burst was just coffee or tea. Someone previously had burned bread or popcorn in the microwave so when we tries to use it to heat water the room filled with odor of burned food. bath mat was so old it was shredding and left pieces of it on our feet when we stepped on it. The clothes rack was almost unusable to hold clothes. suitcase stand was broken and unusable, Otherwise room was ok.
