The property is a great value, pet friendly, breakfast included, with a microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker. The only downside is it close to the highway and has thin walls for kids yelling in the pool until 9pm and the cleaning carts rolling down the carts at 8 am.

Motel was cute, clean and the staff was super helpful. Especially Christine (night desk clerk). She was super friendly and accommodating. Gave a great recommendation for a place for us to eat dinner. She recommended Ford's Garage. I highly recommend this place also. Very cool decor and the food was great and reasonable. Would definitely stay here again if the need arose.

Charged my card extra $25. Waiting on reply/refund

The room was not cleaned well or at all prior to my stay. Carpet was dirty. Desk had rings from cups that I wiped up and bathroom floor wasn’t swept either. Towels were like sandpaper. Only thing good was the ac. And the $25 deposit that was supposed to go away when I checked out was charged to my card. Still waiting for response from hotel and refund.

It’s an older motel style property that has been recently renovated quite well. Even the hot tub works. Beds are comfortable. There’s actually daily maid service! Price, is great.
