Very nice stay.

The room was clean. The bed was comfortable, and the a/c was nice and cold. The pool and the rest of the grounds were also neat and tidy. Frances was great! I was traveling solo for a hiking trip so she moved me to the ground floor so I didn't have to carry my cooler and all my gear up the stairs. Thanks so much for that! The property was within walking distance to the River Trail, right across the street from a gas station, and a few places to eat. I would definitely stay here again.

I like the location and has always been clean and quiet. I wasn't too happy with the lady working the front desk, I got there 13 minutes before check in and she was outside smoking, she asked if I was there to check-in, I said yes and she let out a big sigh, huffed and puffed and I said I'm sorry I interrupted your smoke break, I'll go back to my car and wait, she said no, that's ok, that's what they're here for and nodded at some other people and rolled her eyes, she acted like it was the end of the world and that it bothered her terribly that I was there 13 minutes early, things like that kinda deters me from wanting to stay there again. She probably shouldn't be in this business with an attitude like that

Disgusting property.. Room had major moisture problems that the motel had attempted to address with Damp Rid. Additionally the cable tv connection did not work. We asked for either a refund or a different room. Supposedly a refund is in the works after speaking to the manager of the property. DO NOT RECOMMEND

The hotel was clean, the staff friendly, there seemed to be an increase in activity on the streets late at night, which may have been completely normal and harmless but it just made me a bit uneasy, being in a new place. I would stay there again.
