We were on our honeymoon! We stopped here for the price and great reviews. We agree with the positive reviews of cleanliness and service these people provide. We were greeted with friendly staff, and got into our room quickly. The place brought us back to nostalgic vacations where motor lodge comes to mind. The room was clean and fresh. Bathroom was cozy with sink just outside the bathroom. Big TV and cool AC.

We stay here because it is on the cheaper side, yet the rooms and bathrooms are clean. The beds are comfy enough, we bring our own pillows though. The staff is friendly and helpful when or if you have an issue. If you’re on a budget, yet need a night out, this hotel is perfect for the price.

Very comfortable. I only wish I had the side facing away from the streets. The front desk told me those rooms were not available, but as I was looking at them, I saw no one occupying those rooms.
