The motel had a perfect location close to the University campus and also reasonable rates. Room 210 had a valve problem with the cold water at the bathroom sink. The flow was very slow. Overall, a good stay with reasonable rates.

Motel is quite old. This is the cheapest option i could find to stay close to downtown. You get what you paid. I could not connect for some reason to wi Fi. Parking is free so that is a plus and TV has great channels. I struggle to communicate properly with personnel
