"Everyone here is very friendly and helpful! The room could use some upgrades... the blackout curtains don't meet properly in the middle (thankfully I had a couple of paper clips), and there is no coffee maker in the room. Otherwise, it's okay & comfortable."

"The internet didn't work for all the days I was there. I had business work to do and I couldn't get it done. I have to go out and purchase data to do all my work. This was one of the booking reasons I chose this motel."
