have stayed here many times on way from Michigan to NJ. Front desk gentleman is always very nice an cheerful to me. I like that when I get here I have a parking spot right in front of my room which makes it much easier for me because I have really bad knees and after traveling for hours, I can unload and load right into my room without walking from a further parking spot, the room is ready an heat or air is on.

I've been staying at various budget motels all summer on motorcycle trips. This place has been the best value by a mile. Nothing fancy, but clean and thoughtful touches abound. The office doubles as a beer store (with a great variety) and was open super late. Bonus-super motorcycle roads in this area!

It's a motel. I was very impressed with the bed and how quiet it was. Everything was clean, but a panel had fallen off of the wall and was taped back on, part of the desk laminate was missing, but seriously, all we needed was a place to rest our heads for the night after a concert. It was adequate. I have to say that the staff was amazing. Thank you.

Beds were very good, new, clean, good quality. Staff was confused about when and if housekeeping comes. When we did request housekeeping, they never showed up, had to go to the desk to request clean towels and more toilet paper. Luckily we brought our own shampoo. Bathroom wasn’t very clean. If you need a quick place to sleep, this is a decent value, but you get what you pay for.

And all the traveling that we do this was by far the worst bed we've ever slept in. Hotel is in need of a major upgrade of their beds. Also really don't like sitting in my room and all I can smell is marijuana. I know that it's from the guests, not the hotel, but I think they would do more to enforce people from standing outside the doors smoking marijuana.

It was exactly what we wanted out of a low cost stay. Housekeeping did not come for us and at check out we were told that\'s normal, they only come when requested now because of Covid at "all hotels", but we stay at a lot of hotels and that\'s not true.
