The only thing I can say bad about this place was that it could use a little update but for what it was it was awesome. It was very clean inside and out smelled good very nice staff. No noise no bugs and a comfortable bed. I was a little skeptical just because it was an outdoor entrance place and they are usually sketchy but this place far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area. You can book this place with confidence it was just as nice if not better than the big name chains. The attendant even went out his way to walk through the room with me upon check in to verify I would be satisfied. He came back asked if I needed anything ans even came back with a complimentary gingerale

Staff were really helpful, kind, and approacheable. Walls are a little too thin that we could hear the people from the other room snoring. Other than that the appliances were working great, shower is a little too tight for tall people to move comfortably, but overall we got what we paid for!

I was in town for just one night and ended up booking this last minute. I’ve never stayed at a motel before because of the stigma, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was very clean, and the owner at the front desk was extremely friendly and welcoming. A nice bonus was the smart TV, which let me log into my own accounts and relax. Overall, a great experience and definitely changed my perspective on motels.

What you see is what you get, but it’s really fine. Wouldn’t bring my wife or small kids, but I needed a two day (two night) base while deer hunting in nearby Kent County, MD. This place was ideal.
