Brian Sun, 1 June 2025

Good

Liked: The staff were helpful and kept the motel clean. The beds were comfortable enough to sleep in and for the price, it was a good stay. Housekeeping stayed on top of taking any trash out of the room and made sure that needs were met. The Motel is a walks away from restaurants, grocery stores, and a gym.
Disliked: The comforters could stand to be updated. The room was for smokers so it's understandable why they are not in good condition.
