Nice place. It was convenient getting in and out. I’d like to see our office hours available particularly early in the morning for coffee. And you need to do something about the safety in your showers. Very slippery floor and no type of grab bars. You can buy them for $15-18 on Amazon. They stick on and I’ve been using them for 10 months without any of them coming investment event potentially serious and expensive accident.

Nice motel and good rate.

Older but well kept motel style lodging. Room was clean, front desk person nice and grounds well maintained. Stayed 3 nights over 4 days while in town so had 2 rooms. Only reasons not excellent rating is the older style air conditioning and lack of decent coffee. Please an upgrade to Kuriegs. Americans are spoiled. The green space is very nice to hang out BTW!
