The bed was very comfortable, one of the best motel beds I’ve been in! Front desk was super kind and welcoming. My only ‘issue’ was the shower… it would go from an ideal temperature to scalding hot, back to normal, and then to freezing cold and back to normal repeatedly. Other than that it was a great stay and I would definitely go back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a1f7c5f6-ec7e-4cf5-b87d-d04b95b6472c-1755266374347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a92201f-053a-46f5-91fe-e3b38d96a392-1755266373985.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julia Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the aesthetic of the hotel.
