This property was just awful, its just an old renamed motel and I regret staying. The first problem we encountered was the toilet not flushing, the staff responded fast, which was nice, but his 'fix' was to have just keep flushing until it cleared. The AC unit made this the worst part though, when it was on it would vibrate the entire bed which was not as fun as it sounds, luckily the weather was decent, so once night hit I was able to turn it off so we could sleep. The bed was hard as a rock and the 'towels' for the bath are better described as hand towels. Breakfast was standard fare, so it was fine. The staff was very friendly and did try to help where they could, my complaints are all with the property.

Easy check-in, friendly staff, very clean, comfortable bed. The only problem we had was controlling the coolness in the room. The AC was too cold, but we had to turn it completely off before it would stop blowing too much cold. Then it got warm and stuffy. We should have asked at the desk but were too tired.

The room was great. If I had to comment on anything that was less than optimal, I'd have to say the lack of parking as well as light coming through around the door. Everything else was awesome.
