Pardon the random nature of this review. Room was clean. They obviously updated windows and flooring. Property looks older. In another neighborhood it would mean unsafe surroundings, but not here. Here the property is extremely well lit. Staff is helpful. I will stay here every time I come to this event. if not for the age, I would give it all fives. For a place to sleep and leave, this was great. Lots of great food around. No negatives for me except thin blankets. They kindly brought more to my room. Mattress was a bit soft for me, but I digress. Great stay, no issues.

The property for the price was fine and it was clean,but it was just a very old building* If all you need is some sleep and a shower in the morning its fine.

Decent place

Average motel. Bed was nice. Bathroom was nice. Refrigerator was a little today on the outside. Parking lot is a little tight for larger cars. Dirt around parking lot had trash and needs attention. A little touch up paint would make a decent place.
