Great place, I would stay here again. Older motel, but everything was clean and everything worked. The rooms are larger than newer hotels. Hotel staff was nice when I called and during check-in. You won't beat the price!
My girlfriend like it a lot . It clean , spacious and everything old. But very clean. I like that it was very inexpensive. It grew on me and I would stay here again. She absolutely loved it. The WiFi was not powerful enough to reach our room but it was very charming and not corporate looking at all.
The check in was really quick and lady was really nice. This place is "old school" and quirky! The rooms were not updated but were clean and beds were comfortable and showers were hot. The room was just as big or not bigger then some chain hotels. I loved the older tiles in the bathroom. Convient off the highway in a quiet part of town. No pool or breakfast, but our room did have an electric kettle and coffee, tea, hot chocolate were provided minus coffee cups, we had our Yetis. The only complaint was the window AC was old and noisy if you put it higher then 2.

Linen and towels very clean smelling. Beautiful surroundings. Awesome, helpful staff. Spotted a cockroach, please spray. Smelled smoke several times from tenants. Noisy neighbors next door.
This place was great. It’s old…and perfect. My husband loves old motels and this didn’t disappoint. Janice was above and beyond kind and accommodating and the location was fantastic and had good food options as well.
