Clean room, free parking, frig and microwave in room. The room is a little tight, but we don't stay in our room only to sleep.

6/10 Good

I originally booked this "hotel" on expedia It looked super clean and very modern, however when i arrived at the address, it was a motel ! check in was a bit slow but the gentleman who checked me in was kind and hospitable. I decided to stay and check it out. once I walked in to the room to check it out there was a room with a shower curtain that was dirty, the second room I booked was a bit cleaner however there was no shower door in that bathroom and it had bad lighting, the tub looked stained.
Diana T, 2-night trip
