When I first booked this motel at such a reasonable rate I was a bit concerned - BUT nothing to worry about. Really one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in at any price. Friendly staff. Room laid out well, air conditioning / heater worked fine, not rattles, etc. Super clean room, same for outside. Nice pool though I did not use it. Walls seem well insulated. Large TV, worked well. Instant hot water all times of the day. Highly recommended.

My friend and I had a really nice visit. Next time we come up I'm going to possibly reserve a suite. The bed was somewhat comfy but sleepable. The different options to make payment was appreciated. Thank you.

Average Stay
Hotel was nice, but a big run down. The tv/refrigerator cabinet was broken, paint was worn in several places. Hotel does not have an elevator, and bringing luggage to our 2nd floor room took may trips up and down stairs. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Breakfast was good, but ordinary. Bed and room were comfortable. Overall, just an average stay in a hotel that could use a little TLC.
