This is a nice little motel. The owner is very professional and available. The room itself is small, but just right for a stop over on our way home. We appreciated the ability to easily bring our things in and the bar that made it nice for an evening snack.

This is an old-time court-style motel where you park outside your room, nice if you are traveling by motorcycle. The room was nice, the shower hot, the bathroom modern, the bed comfortable. No pool or restaurant, but a good price and a good night's sleep.

Overall, we had a good stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The only issues were that the room could have used more towels, and the shower pressure was a little too strong for our preference. Other than that, everything was great, and we enjoyed our stay.

While the property had no pool, being adult only was a plus. We are older and didn’t have to worry about kids running into us. Manager Pete Desai was the absolute best. Extremely accommodating, friendly and seemed to bend over backwards to meet any request. It’s a good clean motel.

Clean room - Spencer’s coffee across the road. I’d take a clean motel room at a lower price and pay for a better quality breakfast any day over a “continental” at a higher priced chain. Perfect for a comfortable sleep stop on the road between Florida and home
