"This place is extremely well run. It’s clean. The showers are nice and the rooms have excellent air-conditioning. I’ve stayed here several times, and it’s much nicer than the budget motels down the street. If you’re a solar traveler, I highly recommend staying here."

Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

8/10 Good
"The property was clean and my room was a decent size, clean, and comfortable. Wifi signal was good. The free breakfast was a bit lackluster. The biggest issue was construction on service road and traffic backs up terribly in the afternoon. "
