Room was comfortable and clean. Staff was professional and courteous. Breakfast was appreciated. Parking spaces a little tight for larger vehicles.

It’s loud! They give you ear plugs because of the traffic noise. The coffee is Nescafé and it’s not our preference. The bathroom light flickered a lot. The shower pressure was weak. The tub is small. But the staff was great. Oh… the toilet sounded like a jet taking off every time we flushed it. It’s a good low budget property. Convenient and close to everything. Breakfast was standard but fresh.
I was very impressed with this motel. It was a convenient location close to much shopping and restaurants.
The workout room was small but very adequate. A peloton bike was available which was great for me.
The breakfast was good with both hot and cold foods.
I would like to especially complement Laura who worked at the front reception and wore many hats. She was very helpful in many different ways.
Pleasant design considering the small property size. We had a lovely view of the pool. Very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was enough; everyone in my party found something tasty to eat. The pool uses copper as an algaecide, so my daughter's hair turned slightly green.

1. the elevator wasn't working, so we had to struggle up and down the stairs with our luggage.
2.the towel rack in the bathroom needs repair; it looks like someone used it to hold while getting in/out of the tub/shower. Perhaps a safety bar is in order?
3. the room was very clean
4. the breakfast was very good
Check in was great. Room was nice and close to where we needed to be. The breakfast was good, but closes so early (8:30!) and the person working breakfast was not nice at all.
I liked the bathroom / dressing area having its own door separating it from the sleeping area. Need grab bars in the tub area. Heat the pool a little. Good location

Rooms are very clean. Breakfast was also good. The staff were very friendly and attended to our needs well. Great location. Will stay here again if visiting the area
Clean place. Though feels like an upgraded motel 6. Parking an issue if you have anything over 7' tall. Rooms are nice, but you can hear every step from the room above, just normal walking pace (no kids running around). Fridge couldn't keep jello from melting even turned all the way to max cold.
