Fair price , convenient location for the places I went to visit. NO breakfast included even though it was advertised when booking. Bedroom had only blinds, no curtains, hand soap dispenser broken. Average service for price.

horrible stay. when we got into our room there was no where to put our clothes except for 5 hangers and a shelf that was very small....there was no luggage stand, no drawers we were a family of 3 for a 3 night stay had to leave our clothes in our suitcase never have i had to do that. then when i did ho to put my daughter clothes on shelve i noticed it was grainy so inpulled out the wipes and oh my gosh none of the surfaces had been wiped down. there was a phone in room but no lines connected to it. there was no AC it had a slow moving fan and it was muggy.the first morning after i went to front because on web site it says they have english breakfast for a charge that was a lie. they had no breakfast. then the 2nd day we were they we had went out for the day and when we got back the power had been out all day and the motel didnt even have the decency to contact us and let us no so the milk we had in fridge was warm.The hot tub was a joke it fit 3 people if that. This was an overall horrible stay. Never returning to this place. I have photos but will not let me upload

The property looks clean especially at the front desk. But inside the room, its dusty and dirty, wiping the countertop is extremely dirty. Coffee maker has white residue, fridge was really bad, food stains and water drips. Then microwave, disgusting with food overflow stains.. Jorge was nice to offer change rooms but we just stayed since I cleaned it with clorox wipes already.. Bed is clean somehow. Linens have holes though..

I'll never stay here again!!
I tried to get an early check-in but the staff was rude and said through there Ring doorbell that just come back at 3pm. There was hardly any cars there and the hotel looked empty. They could have accommodated and I was willing to pay an extra fee for early check-in. My wife has Parkinson's disease and also had a stroke a few years ago and just wanted to take a nap. I will never stay there again!!

Our stay was quiet and restful, and parking was easy. Only drawbacks were that cleaning staff left dirty sheets outside our room overnight. Also building is old, our room had an odor from the pipes.

Couldn't find help
Stay was fine. I was very bothered that I was called about 7pm of check in day and told I had to arrive by 11. Also tried to call office and the room phone was dead. Used my cell and no one picked up. I called 8 times over an hour span before anyone answered.
