Good hotel for nightly or extended stay. It is affordable. The rooms are clean. The customer service is good. They are not rude. I read the past reviews and don't agree with them. I think it is a good place to stay and it is not expensive. The rooms are also comfortable.

It was a good stay. The room was clean and comfy, exactly what I was looking for. The staff was friendly and super chill, made checking in easy. Slept great, the bed was solid, and the place was quiet. Location is perfect comparing the price, lots of places to eat and shop nearby.

Love having good people around. Ive seen some of the reviews and they are not all true. Both the owner and his wife speak fluent english, the rooms are not top shelf obviously, itbis a travelers motel with long term stay. Everyone is friendly here one of the owners is always on site if there are issues. They have been here for over a decade and are renovating different areas constantly. The laundry room is accessible all hours as is both lobby areas. I feel safe and comfortable and above all welcomed.

It’s not the Ritz, but for the price, this place is a solid deal. AC worked great, hot shower, and the Wi-Fi didn’t cut out once. Front desk guy was chill. Perfect for a quick, no-frills stay.
