Perfect location to hike big pine, recently renovated (new floors/cabinets/simple furnishings), super clean, great layout. Most importantly felt safe (single female traveler). Also very convenient that the gas station/market is right there.

The air conditioning saved us! Worked wonderfully on a super hot day. There was a swarm of wasps above our door outside when we arrived, but staff immediately took care of it. Staff in the market were helpful and kind. The microwave and fridge came in very handy, and the room was clean. It's an older motel, but they maintain it fairly well. Great for a short stay!

It’s simple, got beds, shower with great pressure, I kinda liked the look. Cleanliness was 4/5 though, shower mostly, and one of the beds kept rolling when watching tv, other than that, it was a good place to stay! I’d stay again!
