There was plenty of parking even tho motel was full. The parking area and the pool area were clean. The air conditioner worked ok. The fridge provided in the room was clean and worked well. The rooms apparently have not been renovated in some time, but the furnishings were comfortable.

Called ahead of time to ensure rooms did not smell like smoke. Front desk informed me that all rooms were non-smoking but when I booked and checked in my room reeked of cigarette smell/smoke. It was so hard to sleep. However other than that it was a decent stay. Front desk check in and out process was swift.

The place was spotlessly clean, but no coffee maker and no microwave
That really sucked. Even a kettle would've been nice.

It’s a good option for a 1 night stay but it’s honestly very outdated & the furniture has a lot of wear&tear. It’s not very clean either. Front desk clerk was very nice. Good location, but yeah very very outdated and not very clean.

The first two nights they didn’t have our room that we reserved on hotel.com. Then we went to the front desk and asked for the amenities we were supposed to have and for some reason they showed us in a different room which was to be the room we were supposed to be in the first day. So there was that. The hotel staff were all great.

Modern reception area. Friendly and professional staff. Accommodated my request for the quietest room available. Renovated room. Very clean. Towels and sheets were white but didn't smell bleached. Slight strange odor in bed, possible blanket needed to be washed. Loved the 3 Pillows, perfect for a side sleeper. Mostly quiet. Considering location right next to 8 Fwy, so occasional loud speeders zooming by in the middle of night. Overall stay was Very Good.
