We arrived after 9pm, but the owners/management were there to greet us, and went out of their way to accommodate us by bringing an extra mattress, for our additional person- AND bringing me their own ice, even though there's no ice machine on property! I would DEFINITELY recommend them. We're planning to stay there again, when we drop our daughter off for her second year at a local college.

They're doing the best they can with what they have. Staff are really nice, willing to help any way they can. Referral to Paul's Pasta put us in touch with hand made pasta we will definitely be back for. Rooms are only cleaned between tenants, not daily, which suits our personal preferences for privacy. Confirmed "Non-smoking" room was definitely smoked in for prolonged period by one of their long-term tenants. Back home, we can still tell which items we had kept in our room and which we'd left in the car during our stay; even plastic bags kept in open suitcase will have to be thrown away or hung outdoors to remove the cigarette odor. That room will need to be painted and all the furniture thoroughly cleaned before it can honestly be offered as a "Non-smoking" room again. We didn't complain because we didn't want the hassle of packing up and moving during our short stay. If you smoke, or nicotine residue just doesn't bother you, it's a nice little getaway. Bring your own cookware and dishes if you plan to use the kitchenette, and soap & detergent, as the only cleaning agent is little bottles of conditioning shampoo (but the towels and other linens are in new condition, as is the shower head). I really hope they succeed and can bring this motel back to its optimal condition.

Parking is convenient and safe. the room was clean and the shower worked well. I didn't find any utensils in the kitchen, but I didn't need any. The refigerator was running but the stuff I put in there wasn't cold in the morning. In fact it was barely cool. But I slept well.
