Great value! The room was spotless, comfortable and spacious. The staff were very helpful and courteous. The only negative I would say is bring good earplugs because the refrigerator is pretty noisy, and so are some of the hot rods in the carpark. But I would recommend this motel and stay there again!

I reserved a non smoking room but upon entering room it smelled like cigarette & marijuana smoke. There were sketchy looking people hanging around stairway and parking lot. It definitely had an unsafe vibe.

Arrived and front office was closed. Waited outside at night in cold with kids for 20 mins. But when opened check in clerk was apologetic and friendly. Got room, parked walked to room and it was un cleaned ( had not been made up at all not like poorly cleaned) had to go back to office, again he was apologetic and got us into another room. All was good there, crashed out and was on my way 6 hours later. Premises were clean and clear of questionable people or trash. Only NEGATIVE was the cost of the vending area! I paid $12 for a bottle of Dr Pepper and bottle of water! But it was late and my youngest was sick and I didn’t have options to go elsewhere in that moment. That felt like highway robbery. I understand the need to make a profit, but come on. Learn from my mistakes and make sure you have enough drinks after a day at the amusement park with kids.
