The check in, room, amenities, etc were all great. The only issue I had is the walls are very thin so you can hear a lot from neighbors.

The room was clean, updated, and well-maintained, and the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is convenient, and traveling with a dog was no problem — it’s a great setup for pet owners. Simple, quiet, and everything worked as it should. I’d definitely stay here again.

Old school motel room, very clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. Comfortable but not flashy. The place is remarkably quiet and the location is central to activities in the area.
