It was okay. For the price I was expecting a little more. It was clean, just very outdated and pool area appeared to be falling apart. Served its purpose for a quick overnight baseball trip.

The drive way to the motel is hard to find and has potholes in it. The room was clean, although the blanket on the bed had a burn hole in it and the sheet was worn very thin. The refrigerator worked fine, along with the air conditioner and microwave. There were no safety bars for the bathtub/shower. It was very quiet and staff was friendly. Breakfast was minimal and not diabetic friendly.

I liked the walking path behind the hotel. However to access it you need to walk on the side of the hotel which has many mole spots making it harder to walk .

Enjoyable stay

When we stayed it was quiet with few guests. The weather was terrible and no local happenings. We were welcomed and had a quiet room with comfortable beds and a nice continental breakfast. It is an older motel but was clean and comfortable

A bare bones motel, but very clean. Heat was either on, hotter and hotter, or off, colder and colder. That was a problem.

Not worth almost $300

Super basic room. Two queen beds, full size shower. Bathroom counter had a TON of chips in it, yellow staining around the sink drain. All of the towels had holes in them. There were only two outlets in the entire room, one in the bathroom and one behind the microwave. We were looking forward to using the pool but it was closed the entire stay without warning. Front desk receptionist was friendly.

Very professional and kind. Clean and safe. Lau dry softner for sheets/towels would be great. Scratchy. But norhing to complain about just a proactive suggestion. I will recommend other friends/family to stay here when needed.
