Al at the front the desk is legit and a real person. We have become friends over the past few months. Always excited to see me and one of the reason I stay here. Bonnie at the front desk in the mornings has been a real sweetheart as well. These two are great and deserve a bonus each for Christmas ! Overall great place to stay and location is wonderful !

AWESOME place to stay (2 weeks for me)! Shows it's age in some areas, but so comfortable, spacious, restful, and amenities are great too. Front desk service and personalities are superb! Friendly and helpful as can be about the area as well as the hotel. I would spend 2 weeks here again!

Convenient location and the rooms were old but clean. Next to a fire station but it was quiet.

Very tired and could not find a place with vacancies. They had a room left, and it was a good happenstance. The room was essentially no frills, but appeared very clean. Everything worked and no bugs. So, this motel meets my criteria—clean, cheap, no bugs. The guy behind the desk was very friendly and nice. Highly recommend.
