8/10 Very good

The motel is right off the highway so is easy to get to, but some road noise, and especially train horns from the nearby crossing, were increbibly loud. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Very basic breakfast options, but the coffee was fresh and good.

Relatively clean. Convenient parking and remote no contact check-in. Breakfast was simple grab-and-go items, which suited us just fine. We got in late and left early so can't accurately judge much.

The room was very clean, the beds and pillows were great and the breakfast area had a great selection and was very clean. Heads up though—the train is VERY close and VERY loud!! If that won’t bother you then it’s a great place to stay. But you will hear it at night.

6/10 Good

Room was in good condition and check in at night was excellent. We didn’t check in at the front desk we were given text message on how to check in. The text message has the name of the motel, room number, door code and the WiFi password. The only complaint I had was the smell of cigarettes it was hard to get a full nights sleep.

Clean room, staff on her job when it came to the code for the room and communication is spot on. Did I say clean room which if no one else appreciates I do. No smell whatsoever. Organization of room. This is going to be my new spot when I come back into and I come at least once a month for business. I am pleasantly excited about my stay. No worries or concerns that wasn't taken care of. Now this is how a Inn should be.

Nice to have a updated room. Very clean. AC worked great. Water very hot. Beds are OK, some will like them some won't. Lots of room. Ceiling fan is nice to have. Staff was friendly. A bit noisy. The train tracks are close so you get the occasional horn blast as they go thru intersection. Some road noise from US6, none from I25. Breakfast was very basic continental style but nice variety. Various bars, oatmeal, coffee, teas, basic pastries, breads, yogurts, milk. Only breakfast con was apples were the only fruit. But grocery store is a block away, so it's easy to get some if you want it.

Lovely remodeled large well-appointed clean rooms, bike-friendly. Located near a loud intersection and the A/C was fairly loud, but otherwise no complaints. Very simple continental breakfast. Comfy beds! Great value. I'd stay there again.

The room was ready for us and the check in process was a piece of cake. I loved the virtual check in. The bathroom door didn't quite close all the way and the shower faucet kept dripping, but other than that the stay was great. I'd come back again.
