What People Say

Guests often praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the convenience of having a full kitchenette, and the friendly hospitality from staff. Many note that it's a great base for exploring the area or heading to events, especially for travelers who value simplicity and practicality.

Areas for Improvement

The motel is a bit dated in terms of decor, and while it doesn't offer luxury amenities, it makes up for it in value and comfort. Some guests mention a lack of on-site dining, but the in-room kitchenettes and nearby food options make it easy to work around.

comfortable room at a good...

Liked: Make no mistake - if you're looking for a cute, updated place with tons of ambiance, this isn't it!! But if you want a comfortable, clean room at a reasonable price, you've found it. This place is old but well kept. The facility was clean and roomy. It had a full kitchen with plates, cutlery, cooking pots and pans, and everything you need to cook or prepare meals. The living room was big enough to fit a fold out bed that doubled as a couch, coffee table, kitchen table with three chairs and a tv. The bathroom was big enough and had a decent shower and the bedroom had two double beds in it. Overall, a very comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable stay.
Disliked: Everything was fine

Pleasant

Liked: It was very dirty! I had to buy Javalisen cleaner to clean and disinfect everything! In 7 days, the towels and trash can were only replaced once! When I arrived, I had to clean the fridge. The door was closed and it was hot inside the fridge! Not very good for our health! Conducive to bacteria! Fortunately, there were no harmful insects in this apartment!
Disliked: No heating in this apartment! It was cold at night! The shower drain was blocked! The water was rising in the bath when I took a shower!

A dive that needs updating!

Liked: The size of the space in the room. It was standard size of a motel room.
Disliked: The owner/ staff and office needs love and care. The curtains for the shower need replacing. The freezing cold space with all windows open on entrance after 9pm comes across offensive on purpose. I'd never stay there again!
