"Our stay was flawless from start to finish. The customer service agent who checked us in was friendly and professional. He was very respectful of our service dog. We loved the snack shop downstairs. The breakfast manager was extremely friendly and welcoming. The breakfast had great options. We opted to just pay the 9$/kid and us adults just had leftovers from dinner and free coffee because 24/person for adults was more than we wanted since we weren't very hungry. Lastly, when we were a little...

"Terrible! Dialup would be a better option than the “guest” wifi. Very outdated rooms, including the window unit ac/heater directly from the 80’s. The provided breakfast is a joke. It’s a wide selection of TOAST. Hotel does not provide water to drink, even with breakfast. Instead, they kindly point you to the vending machine. To top it all off, you are also charged an additional parking fee of $12...for what?! Get your $’s worth and stay at the holiday inn next door. "

"Bathroom smell so musty that I must keep it closed at all time. I’d spend as little time as possible in there. Perhaps main floor rooms are used more Often may not smell like the 2nd floor bathroom. They renovated the motel to be an inn, it’s decent but the carpet was kind of dirty when I walked in. Very strong ordor of odor spray that was def a turn off. 2 Chinese, Vietnamese and pizza across the street was def plus. However I won’t stay there again cause I prefer a nicer name brand hotel. Thus...
