Great place to stay!
We have stayed here many time and it has turned better. New owners have remodeled and have turned this motel to the best turn for the buck...clean, quiet and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more!

Meh
Beds were awful. Didn’t give enough towels. Continental breakfast was terrible… it was barely a breakfast.
The door for the room had a gap in the side that you could see outside.
Good thing was the pool was nice and clean.

It was our second time staying here. It nice and not overpriced. It was remodeled some since last time. The swimming pool is clean and nice. My only problem is the driveway is very dark and the road so it's hard to see where to turn in at night.

This place should be a $50 a night not a $170 a night Motel. Old and outdated, just a dump.

So so hotel
The comfort was decent. The sitting area chairs were covered with mildew. The showerhead was rusted and dirty. The toilet paper holder screws were coming out of the wall.

Check in was miserable, then I went to the room. "I paid for this?" I would have rather stayed at a homeless shelter. Never again.
