Excellent

The doors to the rooms really need to be replaced. The deadlock barely worked and there no additional locks or safety latches on the door. I feel like if you leaned on it too hard, it would open. Did not feel safe.
Great place. Clean with comfortable bed and very good amenities like breakfast items and coffee maker in room. Easy check in even though we arrived late.

An old school motel with great service. Could do with updating but otherwise comfortable and clean.
Bottom of bathroom door was in need of repair and paint.

Adjacent room showed up at 3:00 AM
Slammed doors and stomped around until 3:30 AM
At 5:00 AM someone in that same room locked themself out and knocked on the door for about 20 minutes
Not a hotel problem I guess
Just the human race…
The room was spacious yet simple in layout. There was a full refrigerator, king bed, and a roomy bathroom. We never felt like we were bumping into furniture like we often have at other lodgings. The price was right for that area, too!
The front desk team was very courteous and accommodating. The rooms were clean. The only complaint is that the little coffee maker wasn’t working. I like to make a cup when I get up in the morning. I was able to go to the front desk area for a cup.
It was National Cherry Festival and Fourth of July week-end. The price here was a third of surrounding places. I just needed a place for the night. Except for the smell (perhaps cigarettes) it was adequate.
