Quick and easy check-in with friendly staff. Plenty of parking space, and the rooms and all the equipment actually worked, unlike other hotels in the area. Both the pool and hot tub were also operational and clean.

Awesome place!

This motel is awesome! The first place, and we've stayed in lots of them, that payed attention to my special requests for our stay! The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is limited, but the waffles were great! If I had to critique anything, it would be the lack of counter space for the bathroom. The folks here are very nice and helpful. We will definitely stay here again and We definitely recommend this motel!!

The customer service at check in was very good. Once I got to the room, it went downhill from there. The bathtub had black sediment in it. I was too tired to ask for another room. So, I cleaned it. I took a bath. Then, the bath barely drained. Took about an hour to drain and would cough and gurgle up black stuff. The paint and wallpaper are coming off the walls. Just another poorly remodeled and poorly maintained cheap hotel. Linens were okay. I would stay there again.
