"It was our first time staying at this property because we were there for a wedding and our 24 hour day was absolutely phenomenal. The rooms were super clean. I absolutely loved the water pressure of the shower and the fact that the water stayed hot the whole time. Staff was exceptional. There was still food options available after 1 AM in the high limit area, which was also nice. Overall, a great day would definitely recommend. It’s definitely worth the price you pay."
"I’ve been to this property twice now. This is motel off of the highway, but it’s grade separated so the road noise isn’t an issue. The property has free parking and WiFi. Upon entering the room there is newly added pine-looking cabinet, place to put luggage, and table. The bed is a bit lumpy, but still can sleep through it. In the winter time there is a hvac room unit but I didn’t use it. The sink is outside - retro color. I haven’t seen anywhere else with a stainless steel Kleenex box affixed...
"Convenient location. Very clean with friendly staff. Free breakfast was nice and had an acceptable amount of options with a clean dining room. Costco, Starbucks and other places within a mile."
