The property is average but spacious and clean enough. Bed is old and saggy. Pillows very thin. Too much carpet, had a musty smell when entering even though windows were open.

Facilities were clean & very functional. The breezy air kept everything cool. Only downside was check out time was so early (10am) & mgr was unwilling to even extend until 11. He finally conceded at 10:30 tho. Overall, decent & clean place for the money.

The hotel is clean, though a bit dated, and convenient walking distance from shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly though we received the wrong key and got charged for an incorrect charge that had to be reversed. Fortunately I had the receipt and it was cleared up quickly.

A total waste of money
Can you image live without Internet these days. Everything will become inconvenient. Thanks to Ellena Court Motel. Your nightmare comes true. Because they don't provide free wifi, can't believe this still happens in 2023. the owner is rude and hopeless too. DO NOT recommend this motel. regret and waste of money.
