“I travel a lot- in a motel for 4days every week. I like to have a fridge and microwave because I don't eat out and enjoy the convenience of having them in my room.

• Hotel did not have an indoor pool.

“I found this hotel very nice, clean, friendly staff, and it exceeded my expectations for a 2-star hotel. Morning breakfast was great. We were hoping for an indoor pool and were disappointed that their pool is outside (it's January). In the summer the outdoor pool would be a plus. Nice place.”

• Cleanliness, friendly, location.
• Rooms were not what I reserved.

“Very disappointed about the rooms. We were to have 2 double beds in each room. We got a king size in each room. After making the reservation I called the hotel to make sure of my rooms. They said everything was ok. Well when we got there it wasn't ok and they said they could not change it. They did bring in a rollaway. Our stay was very uncomfortable. We were disappointed.”
