Our overall stay was great. Super staff, wonderful pool. Only downside was the breakfast, which was extremely poor. The “hot” food was cold at best, which made it questionable from a health standpoint. Other than that, I would recommend the place.

Affordable, great location, free shuttle to the casino, pretty out back by the river, bunny's and other wildlife, comfortable bed and modern bedding. Older motel so of course some areas are aged but great for the money. If you have 5 star interest, look elsewhere.
