This is an older motel with entrance from the outside. The area isn’t lighted well. The rooms and breakfast area have been remodeled and are in good condition. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It quiet during our stay.

Depends upon your expectations

This is an older facility in need of updates. It was mostly clean (as much as can be expected for the age of the building). The staff were great - friendly and helpful. The internet was painfully slow and erratic. Towels threadbare and small. It was, though, a quiet stay - not always a situation when pets are allowed.

My family and I stayed here over thanksgiving. Every front desk person we had an interaction with was amazingly nice and super helpful with anything we needed! Breakfast was simple and easy. It was quiet and calm which was really nice and made for an easy sleep each night! The bathrooms were clean and easy to use. Check in and check out we’re super simple and quick. We were able to park right in front of our hotel door which was amazing for getting stuff in and out of there! It’s also tucked back by lowes so it makes it easier to get out of the lot and drive to get food or to go anywhere you need rather than trying to get onto a busy road immediately. Overall it’s a nice hotel and would stay again.
