Nice place. Good location. Plenty of parking. Friendly host at the front desk. Remodeled room, but the floor squeaks. Mini soap and shampoo, we’re ok, but not worth writing about. Quiet even though it’s next to a busy street.

8/10

The hotel was clean. Front desk was friendly. Room was large and comfortable. It's very close to the airport. My only negative is the sound from the room above. Fortunately, they didn't stay up long because the sounds of people walking around was noisier than I would have liked. However, I would still stay there again if I were in the area.

It was an owner operated motel. The property was maintained like home, clean and orderly. The hospitality received from the receptionist (owner) made me felt like an old friend. Will go back in my next trip.
