A fine budget motel for a night or two.
Basic travel motel for the night. No frills, but gets the job done.

I'm against the overcharge taking opportunity of events in town. One thing is the low/ high seasons and another increases charges in more than a 100%

I don’t believe it was fully advertised that this was a motel style stay. The staff was nice and check-in was quick. I asked for a non-smoking room and the room still had a cigarette scent to it. The bathroom was quite small but the mirror and counter size was good. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pillows were the worst part. Each bed only came with two pillows (one for each person on bed) and they were thinner than paper. Not a comfortable sleep at all. Check-out was quick.
My friend also purchased a room but we had a wedding so they were unable to check-in until around 10:30pm. When they got there they were told they gave away their room and made them pay an extra $40 to get a different one. That is completely ridiculous when they had a room purchased. I have never experienced that before anywhere else.

There was no one at the front desk. I called the hotel’s phone number and the cordless rang right there. I had to walk around the place knocking on “employee only” doors before he appeared. Was given a room (205) with an adjoining door that the deadbolt didn’t work.

The room smelled like dog and the beds were stiff as a board. We left a pillow behind and there was no easy way for us to contact the property. They outsource their calls for lost items.
