Cindy

Disliked: Amenities
We reserved the Deluxe room with king size bed. We called Thursday to confirm the room. We told them over the phone, we have 2 dogs. We were not given the room reserved. We were given a room with 2 single beds. The vending machine on the property was out of service. The lamp in the room was not properly assembled and would fall over easily. The staff was very unhelpful in our request and slightly apologetic about things.

We were worried it would be loud because it's close to the highway but we were pleasantly pleased that when we closed the door to our room it was very quiet. It's a simple little place but it was very clean and quiet. We would recommend this motel.

Small but Clean

The place is easy to find; rooms are simple, nothing fancy but clean. Bed was comfortable and they offered a breakfast but we didn't partake of it. We've stayed here before and have never been disappointed.

Great stay! We wanted an affordable place to stay after having a full day at apple hill and this place delivered. It was clean, comfortable and straight forward. The check in is at the motel next to it but it was super easy and literally right next door. Would recommend to friends!
