We were jolted awake by a faulty fire alarm at 1am in the morning. The breakfast was presented in the small lobby and nowhere to sit except outside but all seats were wet due to rain. Our hotel room was very small and the bathroom had bugs which got into my shaving kit. Although I liked the old style cottages, for the price this place was not worth it.

Ok spot to stay. Tiny room. Weak water pressure in shower but I expected that. Staff wanted to charge me 20$ to park my rental car which I thought was outrageous. Put a 150$ hold on cc as soon as you check in. I’ve not seen the credit applied back as quickly. Tippys rooster was nice being part of motel. As the kids say. This place was mid.
