Good Value

Check in was quick. Room was clean and we were offered a room on the back side so we were away from the noise from the highway traffic. Breakfast was also great, making our stay affordable.

Decent breakfast options- cereal, waffles, 2 kinda of eggs, sausage, and breads. Comfortable bed and pillow in a very clean room. No carpet in unit which is nice for those with allergies.

Dog smell

The room was clean, but it smelled like dog. Wish they offered rooms that were need not pet friendly, so that people that were allergic would not have to smell the dog.

This is an older style motel but very well maintained and clean, staff was friendly and helpful. There was some road construction going on the end of March but still wasn't hard getting in.

Overall the stay was ok, AC worked as it should, the linens were clean, however the door latch wasn't working correctly, there was noise late into the night, the beds at least for us were not comfortable, hardly any water pressure in the shower, the hot tub was nice and hot. Decent for the price
