6/10 Okay

Due to rennovations, the appeal in the room isnt the best but could see the progress with the fresh painting and slight changes in the room. Good for the money.

Marý, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was very polite. I only saw a couple bugs but the shower faucet needs to be replaced. It shoots out everywhere and then leaks into the room a tad. The bathroom door is also messed up because of that and is hard to shut.

Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a fairly basic motel but perfectly fine, clean and comfortable, in an unbeatable location downtown. Rooms are set back a bit from the street so they stay quiet. The parking is enclosed and seems very secure. For me the biggest drawback was loud and fairly ineffective air-conditioning (although it did work). I would definitely stay again.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was nice enough and close to the stadium so walking to the game was ok.

Stacy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Ok I guess

Graduation day at university stay over. Expensive for what you get. No frills of any kind. Very spartan and cheap. However, people checking you in were nice, room was very clean. This is what happens when you wait too long to reserve a room.,
Terry, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

What a dump, whoever gave it a good rating should be fired
Eugene, 1-night trip
