    Better than expected for a two star motel. It was quiet, clean, and had a quiet fridge. Full darkening room shades.

    Excellent breakfast! The best we’ve had in a long time at a motel. Also ate at the place next door for dinner, that was good also. Nice that there is a pool and small gym.

    Dated and plain, but the room was clean and beds were comfortable. About the lowest price in TC, $170, which is too much for a tired old motel that doesn't even offer a hot breakfast. Time of year in TC.

    My room was good size, breakfast bags were nice. The coffee was good from the breakfast area. Toilet ran like crazy but hot water was quick In shower and wifi worked great. Staff was nice until at checkout she accused my sister of lying about the pee, even though they moved her and the person who checked it out confirmed it was pee. Overall, this could be a great place if they invested in it more. It wasn’t cheap, I’d classify it as a motel not a hotel but charging hotel prices.
