We actually didn't get to stay here for our schedules stay due to Expedia not booking this correctly for us. So when we arrived they did not have a room for my family, even though I booked months out. The staff here was nothing but amazing. Sherry from the front office was on the phone with multiple people trying to resolve this for us. We are sad we didn't stay because she was supportive of our needs and tried so hard to find a place to stay, even though everything was booked out. If they treat people who don't even stay there with respect like this, I'd recommend staying here. Expedia is another answer and hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else because it is not fun

The room was clean and the location is excellent. The advertised food nearby is independent of the motel and varies widely. The motel office hours are very limited and was unstaffed even during times it was supposed to be open. More than once guests were searching for staff to check in, out, or get assistance.
