The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and the grab and go breakfast was enough. Even though it is an older motel, it is very clean and secure. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. We were able to get a later checkout time, which was helpful. Highly recommend!

Comfortable bed, clean room. Very close to main road so traffic can be heard all night long. Thin walls and doors close to each other allow for noisy rooms. Breakfast in winter is very limited.

The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable — the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed. The bed was heavenly, and the amenities were top-tier. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and luxurious without being over the top. The hotel itself is stunning, peaceful, and well-maintained. Whether it was the atmosphere, the cleanliness, or the attention to detail, everything exceeded my expectations. I truly felt taken care of during my entire stay. I would 100% recommend this hotel and can’t wait to come back again. Five stars all the way! 🌟✨
