Friendly staff, clean rooms, very clean bathrooms. No pests. Close to a bunch of shopping options, food and attractions. Can be a little noisy but it's nothing too bad. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're in between apartments or just need a place to stay while visiting.

Offers weekly stays with clean friendly environment. The surrounding community has a small town feel an artistic culture. The local restaurants are almost like museums. Lots of dining options and local attractions. If your vacationing on a budget this is a great option. I wouldn't call this a hotel it's more like a small town inn. This is a great place to stay if your getting work done on your home.

The motel is pretty laid back, it's very clean and quiet. No drama and the manager don't tolerate that at all. I still stay here and one thing I can say is this place is not for kids. No place for the kids to play and like I said this is a quiet place. Also the manager and the owners are super nice.
