Very nice property, newly renovated bathroom. Clean, older style kitchen area but clean and has a stove with oven. Everything we needed for a three night stay. Nice space and view of the river from patio doors. Easy walk to attractions. Busy street but quiets down at night. Would recommend!!

We loved all the space the unit gave us. The bedroom was seperate from the living room which we liked. The couch was on the hard side and not very relaxing to sit on. Nevertheless, the motel was priced well, the bed was comfortable and everything was extemely clean. We would consider returning to it in the future.
