When I first booked this motel at such a reasonable rate I was a bit concerned - BUT nothing to worry about. Really one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in at any price. Friendly staff. Room laid out well, air conditioning / heater worked fine, not rattles, etc. Super clean room, same for outside. Nice pool though I did not use it. Walls seem well insulated. Large TV, worked well. Instant hot water all times of the day. Highly recommended.

My friend and I had a really nice visit. Next time we come up I'm going to possibly reserve a suite. The bed was somewhat comfy but sleepable. The different options to make payment was appreciated. Thank you.
