Nice, clean room, great staff. No problem with street noise but could hear noise from other rooms (TV & voices). Once other guests went to sleep, it was quiet. Some sound proofing might be helpful.

I picked this motel for the location and the price.
It was a 1 night stay. For those reasons it met my needs.
General impression of the unit is that it needs updating and a deep clean. Especially in the shower.
I could not get the lights over the bed to work. One of the fixtures felt like it was broken.
The fan in the bathroom has a broken cord that makes it very difficult to turn on.
Ants were on the kitchen bench in the morning although I had very little food out.
The bed cover and carpet had stains.
I would not stay again.
