This was the second time we stayed at this property. Disappointed that management was not there when we arrived and the office locked with a note to call @ number. We tried calling numerous times with no answer. Thank goodness a wonderful former employee happened to be on site that was able to help us get checked in. Kudos to her!

Web site said 1 room available. When we arrived there was a no vacancy sign, but the parking lot was empty. Finally got checked in after finding the desk person. Evidently there is only one room they can use. The roon was clean and updated, but the bed spreads were stained. Was just an eerie feeling being the only people there.

For a small roadside motel it was very impressive. Completely remodeled room, very very clean. Even the parking lot was clean. Looks like a lot of attention to detail. At first I thought it was a little overpriced but when you see the condition of the room and property, you realize it’s a pretty good deal. I’ve stayed in worse places for far more.
