We booked this property last minute and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of breakfast, the clean rooms and the ease of checking in. The coffee was good too. There is a $40 pet fee which surprised us because it was pet friendly.

Not great, but not bad

Pretty basic motel. No elevator, and we had a second floor with bad knees. Not great, but not bad either. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom which was kind of disgusting.
