decent clean motel ,close to gateway market, mic mac mall etc. lots of food choices in the area also .nothing fancy but clean and affordable.
Rooms were basic..but clean..good for someone or family that's in town that are frugal minded..mattresses were not rock hard...if you went bang for your buck...Smittys restaurant is right behind it and Tim's is close by...mall shopping is close..so you got that too.
We stayed there 2 nights because we had planned an ikea run! It’s the perfect location . It’s clean and cozy with tons of personality. A fun stay at a motel!
Great location..Great price! Was clean.! walking distance to Smitty's..i was allowed to look over the room before locking in with payment!! Friendly staff..Best price in town...

Yes hard to review this place. It's close to things you need or want, it's clean but kind of Par in every way. It's work the money you pay, just wish there was little bottles of lotion
Close to other establishments, Not bad, people around are nice and respectful.

The service was good, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom however appeared mostly clean, but there was dirt on one of the small shelves in the shower and the shower curtain had mold on it. Made me wonder how well the rest of the room was actually cleaned. We were just staying for one night to attend a concert so it worked well for us. We slept well and it was quiet.
