Not in the best of neighborhoods.
This is a motel, not a hotel. The neighborhood is a little sketchy. Fast food restaurants were available however not sit down and dine type of restaurants were not nearby.

Updated rooms and friendly owners / staff. Location could be better – lots of folks roaming the sidewalks – but the owners have gone to great lengths to make sure that the property itself feels safe, with multiple security cameras and a well-lit parking lot. Rooms are well-insulated from road noise, A/C is fantastic, and make-your-own waffles for breakfast were a nice touch.

Hotel was clean and okay for a one night stay.
The stay was okay. The breakfast could have been better. The only hot food was the self made waffles.

Nice people but hotel is right on main street. Cars racing around all night keep waking us up. Room was the biggest of all places I stayed on a week-long trip and had the best breakfast too. Pool was indoors & very small....occupied by kids so didn't want to get in.

Choose a different hotel
I personally wouldn’t stay here again. It does not feel like a safe area. The street in front of the hotel (motel?) had cars revving their engines and screeching down the street all night, backfires sounding like gunshots. The front desk check in was locked and I had to ring a doorbell to ask for extra towels. They didn’t have any and had to go find some. Just wasn’t a great experience and was ready to leave first thing in the morning.

Nice Enough Motel
This place is nice for a roadside motel. It seems that the interior has been updated. Nice staff, everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. I don't know about the neighborhood but I didn't walk anywhere. It's basic but fine.
