It was a very comfortable stay. Quiet clean typical old 70’s motel. I enjoyed it. Very close to family and all activities. My granddaughter loved swimming and walking around the grounds.

Definitely a 2 star motel; old and worn but clean. With some upgrades this place could be a cool, funky stay. Mattress had us rolling to the middle of the bed. Price was definitely high for what you get.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking here again when we’re in the area. The tub was a definite plus, as was the bars on the side, I am partially handicapped so it meant a great deal to me to take a bath and feel safe in doing so.

Disappointed
The property listing was very misleading. Property looked very run down. No one in the office. Finally walked around and bumped into the owner. After a short conversation , we decided to leave and find new accommodations.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a 1950's motel with no upgraded conveniences. Bathroom faucets wouldn't turn off, big black spiders in sleeping area, no hair dryer, no breakfast and no one on duty in the office.

Solid motor lodge. Pros: very clean; AC worked great and the filter was clean; the bedding was high quality; the pool and hot tub were nice and well-maintained Cons: despite being the only guests in the hotel, our rooms weren't ready at the stated check-in time; the door knob on the inside of the bathroom door was missing; there was no shampoo in the shampoo dispenser
