Reviews and Ratings
The motel is conveniently located with easy access to public transportation and nearby dining options. While the exterior may seem simple, the service provided is top-notch. The complimentary breakfast and proximity to the light rail station are major highlights. On the downside, the noise from above and initial impressions may impact the overall experience.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. I enjoyed the comfortable rooms at the rear of the motel without any extra cost or feeling hassled, despite a faint smell of cigarette smoke which may have been from the balconies. The service was good with helpful staff, but not consistently friendly. The location was pleasant and easily accessible with nearby amenities, yet lacked a truly exceptional charm. The dining options were satisfactory but with room for improvement.
The hotel room had a strong smell of smoke, and the window was not properly closing, giving a sense of insecurity. However, the convenient location near public transport made exploring easy. The dining options were basic but satisfactory.
