The pictures of this property on Expedia do not reflect all rooms! The room we got is not pictured on website. The nicest rooms are on the backside of the motel and several stairs to climb. Our bedding needed replacing due to stains on the sheets and the tub/shower was gross!!

We had the family suite and were very happy. We were not expecting to at much space. Only way it could have been better would be one more spot for comfy seating in the living room

The property was in need of repairs. The staff was very untruthful. I booked rooms back in Feb and they confirmed booking the morning of then changed them. The bathrooms were in need of repairs. We had stayed at this place numerous times in the past and never had any issues. Would not recommend this place.

Friendly family run business. They have done upgrades over the years but could still use some more. Very thankful to have AC and a patio view of the town & loved walking out right to the coffee shops and the park across the street!
