Debbie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was just OK. The hotel is in obvious need of maintenance. The desk was unmanned when we arrived and we waited 10+ minutes for someone to arrive to check us in. The breakfast items were not set up for individual use -- one bag of bread, one tub of butter, one jar of peanut butter, one jug of milk. Kind of yuck.

Barb, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a modest motel with much to be modest about, but certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. Although the furniture in the room was a bit eclectic, everything was clean and functional. Check in was quick and efficient. The attached Mexican restaurant seems to have quite a local following. Several other dining options and some shopping is all within walking distance.
Paul, 1-night trip
