The shower drain wasn't working properly, we stayed 4 nights and they never cleaned the room, nor changed the towels, the bed sheets were so stained they weren't white anymore. The only pleasant thing was the theatrics of the receptionist lady.
Cute little motel. Most motels are pretty sketchy, but this was a cute little building that my wife and I loved. I took off one star from the clean writing because the first night there was dog hair or something on our comforter on the bed and on the first layer of sheets under that but once we notified them they took care of it immediately.
We stay here every year and sometimes twice a year and we love it! It’s always a great experience. Although it is a small, no frills roadside motel, that is just fine, it’s quiet, quaint, clean, comfortable, very reasonably priced and the owners and staff are always very nice and accommodating! It fit us perfect and we enjoy our stay every time! Highly recommended!
Nice hotel from back in the day. Clean and provided amenities that I needed such as microwave and refrigerator. No fluff, but I appreciate the cleanliness and the way the manager handled my check-in and check out.
The motel was very clean and fresh. It looked like it had been newly remodeled. There was a refrigerator in microwave and coffee maker. Had a nice safety bar to step in and out of the shower. Bed was very comfortable. There was a nice table and two chairs.
I stay here when i'm in the area. It is a old school basic motel, clean , comfortable and quiet.Drive a few miles into town and any type of food is available.
The owners are very nice, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the view sitting outside was very relaxing. Prices are very reasonable. Would definitely stay there again.
The room was too dim to even read in, sheets had stains on them, no wifi, tv was small and the picture was not sharp, the mattress was uncomfortable and when you lay down in it there was a distinct slant to where your head was significantly lower than your feet (I actually had to sleep with my feet towards the headboard).

You checked in at a walk up window. The room had an intense fragrance. It was overpowering. The road noise was loud. The next day my clothes all still smelled off that awful room!
This hotel was good. The bed was comfortable, we didn’t have the desired hot water though. It is close to a highway, so road noise was a little loud. The owner was very nice.
