What a fun place to stay! We stayed in the deluxe room with the jetted tub in it. It was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The bonus is the restaurant at the same facility. We ate dinner and breakfast there and they both were excellent and fairly priced. We look forward to staying there again!

The bed was super comfortable. We arrived well after dark and left in the dark, so we only saw the inside if our room. The refrigerator had a good freezer on top, which was great as we needed to freeze ice packs.

This motel has a history of bedbugs, so we looked very closely upon check-in. We found 2 carcasses baked into the bedding and multiple layers of sheets had stains from bedbug excrement (small, brown dots). We didn't experience an active infestation, but there were definitely signs. The air conditioning worked well and the shower was hot, although the shower head is designed for people under 5'5". The breakfast at the restaurant was amazing and the staff there was great!
