Convenient location
Convenient location. Manager was very nice and accommodating with our checking in late. Hotels.com didn’t have the room descriptions correct and two of the room we had (out of four rooms) actually had another bedroom (2 bedrooms one with 3 twins and one with a king) to it so all of us could have stayed in two rooms total instead of 4. One of the rooms smelled like smoke even though it’s supposed to be non smoking. Additionally, the bathroom windows are drafty and it was cold outside so it was quite awakening when you visited the toilet in the middle of the night.

Nice comfy bed and a good shower. A little dated but all in working order and clean. A great example of a motel that has been looked after for many years. And a heater that kept the room warm all night noiselessly.

Other guests smoking outside limited our choices of leaving the front door open, lest their filthy smoke entered our unit. Toilet flush button was defective. Noise from other unit carried readily throughout the building. It is dated and most areas are in need of refurbishment
