We had a great stay. Check in was easy, th space was spotless and the outdoor amenities such as the Weber grills and fire pits were fantastic. The grills were clean and had everything you needed to grill, and the fire pit was stocked with paper, kindling fire starter and plenty of wood. We chose the place because it allowed dogs, and the not only allow them, they even have dog tie outs outside. They do it right here! We will stay here again!

We had to use a door lock code to enter the room. We were given the code by calling the number on a sign. We loved the outdoor fire pit and grills. The motel was very simple but had everything we needed. There was a back area where we could walk the dogs. The room was clean and the area quiet.
