Frommer's Review

This fairly-recently renovated motor hotel offers predictable comforts and some uncommon extras -- inexpensive storage parking ($10 per day) and a lovely indoor pool -- that make it a good value. A pleasant lobby leads to motel-standard rooms that are bigger than most in this price range. There are two room categories: standard, with two twin beds, and deluxe, with either a king bed with sofa or a queen bed. The deluxe with king and sofa is best for families. They boast decent-size closets, small work desks (in most), and double-paned windows that open to let fresh air in and shut out a surprising amount of street noise when closed. Everything is well kept. Another plus for the family is the pool, which has a tiled deck and plush deck chairs, but it's only open limited hours, so call ahead if it matters.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar w/extensive beer list; indoor pool; big-screen TV; Internet access in lobby

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
