I’ve been coming to the Caseville area for years and as far as motels go this is by far the best! Room was clean, and beautifully decorated. A wonderful flat screen and a fridge as well. Great place to land for a weekend in the thumb!

Very updated and fresh, very clean. Easy access in and out, close to town. I would absolutely come back here, and I would recommend it. I happened to meet a staff person by chance, and he was very friendly and helpful. The staff is also very quick to respond to any communication.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean. The beds weren't comfortable and it was odd not actually having any staff to check in with. I think it is more personable to see/talk to someone. I was under the impression it was directly on the beach- it's across the street which was disappointing. Also strangley there was no box of tissue in the room, I've never been in a hotel that didn't provide tissues.

The room was clean and comfortable. The microwave and mini fridge / freezer were quite new and had a cool retro vibe. The paint and decorations looked fresh and clean. Bathroom fixtures also looked updated. Check in was super easy. They just email you an access code for your room so you don't even need to stop by the front desk.
