The grab & go breakfast was an apple & an oj. Yes there was coffee but I don't drink coffee. But that was the lamest breakfast or lack thereof I have ever seen! The room definitely needs a lot of help. The headboards are worn, the shower...I can't even explain it! The bottom was painted & there was a rubber strip & it was a mess. For $100 I expected a lot more! Should be a $40 motel. The screen was pretty much ripped off & there was a large tear in it.

Very Poor room condition
Dresser table was missing so everything had to be put on the floor. Floor lamp was damaged and had to be leaned against corner wall as it would not stand on its own.
I was to tired to complain and change rooms but will check out room next time before I moving my stuff in.

Disappointed in comfort for bed ,mattress was too hard. And the on the go breakfast consisted of a granola bar, with a very small carton sized juice. They did have tea and coffee as well. Muffins or cereal would have been nice. When we got to our room the tub had a drip that was constantly running and we told desk about it when we got there and they said they would send maintenance and never did. We were at hotel from Sunday until Thursday and not once did they stock tp or
towels we had to go to office to request it. We had two small garbage cans in our room and they were full so we emptied them. If we are staying overnight in a room and paying for it, it would be nice to be comfortable .

Great Location, Comfortable Room
I had a two-room suite with a separate living room with a sofa bed. This was quite comfortable for an extended stay. I really enjoyed the area and the motel has an excellent location.
