Good location and service, although the motel is a bit old, it is still kept clean and comfortable. In terms of price, it's relatively reasonable compared to other motels on the same street. Staffs are very kindly and friendly, I would definitely stay at this motel again in the future.
葉蔓蒂, 2 months agoBudget motel with outdated interior, thin walls. Bed was comfortable and overall the apartment was spacious. No private balcony and the walls are very thin and traffic could be heard all night and day. Towels a bit rough and cheap feeling. Only hand soap provided otherwise no shampoo, conditioner or body soap. Lots of cracks in walls, door, mold in the shower, loose drain.
Elizabeth Salmon-Omski, 5 months agoWell we paid $220 for one nights stay which I feel wasn't right. There was black mould in the bathroom everything had a run down feel to it odd lamp shades that had rips and looked very run down. Couldn't watch the TV as it was bad reception. Wouldn't stay here again. Such a shame.
