Room had a lot of flies in it. I don’t know if the people before me left the door open or what but was kind of annoying. The refrigerator freezer was nice and plenty big. The remote control of the TV wouldn’t work from the bed. I had to get up right in front of it to change the channels.

I really liked the lady at the front desk. She was very cheerful and helpful. It is an older motel, but it was sufficient for what we needed. The bed was comfortable. They had nice shampoo, lotion, etc. that aren’t in some lower cost motels. The price was very good too.

This place needs help. Carpeting in room was torn and dirty, the dark wall paneling looked like it was from 1976, there was mold in the shower tile, and general finish of the sink area was of poor quality and dirty. On the plus side, the front desk lady was very sweet, and the room had a nice little fridge and was nicely sized. Beds were comfortable.

Checking in was super easy! The receptionist was very friendly and helpful when we couldn’t get the tv to turn on. She actually came to our room to help us figure it out. The remote doesn’t turn on the the tv you must turn tv on manually.

Asked for a handicap room for my parents. Was told because it was ordered on expedia they could not accommodate us. If they were full this would not have bothered me. But 75 percent empty and put my parents on the second floor.

Nice property but several motorcycles took up parking spaces by parking 1-bike per space that could easily accommodate 2 or more per space… had to park a long way from unit for upstairs room that was not advantageous to senior guests toting luggage…

Room was clean but very rustic with 1970's used (some broken) decor and furniture. The restaurant was convenient and decent food and staff. Restaurant seamed like a popular local spot.

We had a great overnight stay and slept extremely well in our room. There are a number of others all around due to a dirt biking event but it was quiet and everyone was extremely courteous. Having the restaurant there was great since we were tired from travel and just wanted to sit in our rooms and relax before bed. Would def stay again if in the area!
