I liked this place! It was very quaint! Room was clean, great shower pressure, and bed was comfy. Would stay again.
This hotel was a little gem. Yes it’s older with older furniture and some of it worn, but everything worked and it was clean. We stayed 4 nights and it was very quite despite being off a busy street. There is an internal courtyard that was beautiful. The room was cleaned and replenished everyday and the staff were all very polite.
I have visited this motel recently and I had a very good experience. The staff is very friendly and go oyt of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We asked for extra blankets and pilliws and the staff was more than happy to fulfill our requests. The room itself was very large and clean. Bed was comfortable and I slept very well. I only paid $60.00 plus tax per night whick is the cheapest around. This motel is in a inconvenient location. I would recommend this motel to everyone!
This place is okay. I think there's a cultural and language barrier that might make the staff come off as rude but Japanese are actually very on the boat and agreeable. I would give it five stars except for the people that stay there. It's not the fault of the staff is just really shady people stay there sometimes. Other than that it's a great place I would highly recommend it for a good price
Beds weren't great but doable. Definitely great service and very clean. Parking garage available under the establishment. Easy access to the rooms with an elevator. Shower had good pressure. The shower head was a bit low but manageable. All in all, not too bad for the price. Lower pricing for the area. I showered and I slept. That's all I needed being by myself. With kids and family, this may not be the most feasible option but bare in mind, it's more of a motel setting.
Big rooms, good value for the money, jetted big tub, big tv with on demand, plenty of channels, soft comfortable bed. Couch is worn out dated, minor maintenance could improve but dont let that stop u from coming here. Its quiet. Cozy and the best value for your money.
Very nice people. Very quite. Very clean. Nice view. Very nice garden. Stayed one night. No problems not bothered. They have flat screens tv. hooked up with time warner cable and wifi is decent. The 2nd time wasn't pleasant as the first. The room had a danky smell of MJ. They also need to retrain or replace their maids. I'm a neat freak so i did the all cleaning myself. We did a room with a hot tub that needed some maintenance that I did so whoever gets the room next will be very happy.
Room was ok. Beds were hard as a rock but that's nothing. room was clean inside. had a few minor issues but It wasn't bad. the staff was very nice. I had no issues checking into this place. I liked the covered parking. I will definitely stay here again when I am in town
