Great place to stay. Wonderful family running the motel. This is my second stay within two months. Would come back for sure. Large room. Old, yes, but there are benefits with that. Love having my car right outside of my room vs having to use cruddy motel elevators and hallways. Super quiet as there is no one above or below you.

I stayed in this motel a few years ago. It has really improved since then, so much so that I can definitely recommend it now to people who want value and simplicity, without any frills. I hope that the property can continue to improve. The room I had was fully renovated, and everything was clear and comfortable. The exterior still needs lots of work, and there is a very pleasant outdoor area that has potential.

I liked the price and that was really the driving force for a hotel that accepts small dogs.

Wonderful place to stay with our dog. The lawns are beautiful as well as the views. And there is a nice dog park across the street. Room was large and comfortable.

The staff is friendly. The hotel is clean and has large rooms. It is outdated but it's clear they are working on updating the rooms. There is no continental breakfast (which we knew from staying here on another trip) and the staff lets you know of the on-line error.

I was a little skeptical because it is an older motel, and we had a bad experience with our last motel stay at a different motel. But the insides of the room were very clean. All of the linens were clean nothing was damaged or worn out or torn up, it was a very comfortable stay with a very budget friendly rate.

Definitely an old, outdated motel. Mostly clean, sheets had a few faded stains, bath tub had rust stains by the drain. Tile above the bath tub had dark grout that could be moldy and the shower curtains were old and a little mildewy. The outlets by the lamps didnt work so had to charge phones on the floor, but they at least worked. We stayed here because we couldn't find anywhere else on parents weekend. The checkin went smoothly and the front desk person was very friendly. While motels are typically expected to be no frills, perhaps updating the bathroom to get rid of blue tub and blue toilet. Also the mattresses were quite hard and uncomfortable.

Front desk staff was nice but booking said that they have a continental breakfast and they do not. Rooms could use a deep clean and had a bit of a smell. We arrived in the evening when it was dark already and there was a large group of men partying outside their rooms a few doors away from us. We did not feel safe walking to our room because of this. Not worth the money you save staying here versus a nicer hotel.

Had to wait over 10 minutes to check in due to no one in the building. I ran the bell and called the front desk numerous times, finally the worker came in from outside carrying shopping bags. The room had beer caps and crumbs of food behind the nightstand, the refrigerator either was not turned on or was not plugged in- i didnt bother looking becasue by the time it would of cooled down my drinks would of been warm. The freezer part was defrosted so there was water all in the top. The beds are soo uncomfortable. The smoke detector was in a drawer along with some plastic bags that were not thrown away from the previous people. The room and bathroom area are spacious even though they are outdated. There was a dog in the next room, but we never heard it or the people on either side of us. This is the 2nd and last time I will stay here.

The room was comfortable enough, but the first one we got had no internet available. The person allowed us to change rooms for our second night to one that had more solid internet service. Well, at least it had some, but the service dropped in and out. Also, half of the space in the freezer of the second room's refrigerator was filled with a frost build-up.

I stayed there for 2 days and the wifi never worked. Unfortunately I got back to my room fairly late - after 11PM - and there is no staff available after 11PM - so there was no one I could ask about it either. So, if you are depending on wifi, don't stay here

This is probably the worst motel I've ever stayed in. The plumbing was in terrible shape - the faucet on the sink was so loose I was afraid it would fall of, the toilet was sitting on a piece of plywood, and the tub didn't drain properly. In addition, many electrical outlets didn't work, the facial tissues container was empty, the curtains didn't close completely (this was a 1st floor room, so it mattered). Finally, the website advertised breakfast (falsely), which is one reason I chose this motel, but there was no breakfast.
