My room was comfortable and had everything you could want or need. The parking was convenient and it was quiet outside. I had to return later after I had checked out and the lady that took of me was very friendly, a very sweet person. I had a good stay!!

A great ending to a long day

What a great place to end up at after a long, long day of driving. Since they do remote check-in, I called in while enroute to get my room number and door entry code, and the lady I chatted with was wonderful and friendly. I arrived late, and her directions, even telling me what parking spots would be open, was spot on. Room was clean, well kept and looked recently renovated. I slept great. It was pouring rain when I arrived so the roof overhang was a godsend when moving my gear into my room, keeping everything dry. Price was great, I would stay there again for sure, the next time I am in the area.

I don’t understand the high rating for this motel. It is nothing special and now, remotely managed. When we got there our room door was wide open and the inside smelled of cigarette smoke and the bed of urine. The next night, we returned at 11 pm to find we were locked out. It took three times calling the remote manger’s number to get a person, to find out they had changed the combination. Not recommended.

Decent and comfortable

This is a simple but nice motel. The room was homey, warm, and comfortable. Also, the shower instantly had hot water that didn’t run out, which was much appreciated. Amenities included a microwave, a decently sized mini fridge, and a TV with some good channel and streaming options. Also check-in was super easy—they just text or email you with the room number and the keypad code. The bed was fine, kinda springy with middling to soft firmness. The sheets were soft but quite warm (polyester) and the AC/heater was a little fiddly to figure out. I’d probably stay there again as it’s good quality for the price and convenient for the area. I came for the dark sky headlands and it was super close to the entrance.
