Skyline Hotel

This fairly recently renovated motor hotel offers predictable comforts and some uncommon extras—inexpensive 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.
