Reviews and Ratings
The motel had some positives like friendly staff and a convenient location, but the noisy surroundings and noisy entry into the motel area were major drawbacks during my stay.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff, but the dining options are limited. The location is convenient, but noise from nearby highways and train lines can disrupt sleep. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel's location suited us perfectly, being conveniently close to our next-day destination. The room we stayed in was small but clean, and we appreciated the absence of stairs leading to it. The restaurant on-site was excellent, although the lack of variety in the menu over five days was noticeable. Overall, it was a suitable stay for our needs.
