We arrived around 3:10 pm at the motel. Very disappointed. Bathroom was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Bathtub was stained and terribly dirty. Nothing good on the TV, so we watched a movie on our iPhone in bed. I can’t stress enough how filthy the bathroom was. Will not be returning.

Great place for a quick stay

We booked last minute and got a safe, smoke-free, clean room. Our tv didn't work, but we were tired and ready for bed so it wasn't a problem. The price was right and the staff was friendly. We'd stay again. Thank you!

This property is in very poor condition. There are several people staying in rooms over the occupancy allowances. Men are hanging outside at night at all hours of the night. The pictures for the property do not reflect the very poor conditions this property is actually in. I will never stay here again.

A Very Good Rate

There was no one at check-in, but it was quick when she came. The room was nice and clean, but the bathtub was very dirty.Very quiet. AC worked great on a hot day. It was a very good rate.

Hotel room smelled, the bathroom was dirty and the site was run down. The pictures are not where you are expected to stay. We cancelled as soon as we got there and looked at the room. Not safe.

Looking for a quiet place to stay away from the city noise? You have a diner across the street and tons of great outdoors activities nearby. Service was awesome and room had all the amenities I needed for a few days to myself. You pay a competitive price for your visit for what you get.

Hotel canceled the afternoon of our reserved night

We booked several weeks in advance through hotel.com called the afternoon while we were traveling and told us they had a problem with our room and could not accomodate us as planned. We had to call around to find a hotel at the last minute. We still have a charge for that night where a credit is required to our credit card.

This little place is a hidden gem. The new owner is a very nice person. She is getting the property back into shape but the rooms are great. Clean and quaint. I would stay here any time I’m through. The value is well worth it.
