Lovely lil motel close to everything. Staff was super nice. Room was minimal, but clean and comfortable - had a lil fridge too! Really liked chilling in the outdoor area that was set up with a fire pit, chairs, tables and games. Very inviting on a summer night after a long day.

I liked the smoking area where the pool used to be. The property had a tiny pool they turned into a fenced patio area with a fire pit they keep open late. There's also a dog run area for your puppy to potty etc. Great updates to the property!

The only thing which we found inconvenient was getting out of the parking lot, which was not anyone's fault, just the overall placement of the motel, however I would return again

The front lobby staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy, but the room upstairs from us was very noisy and we had a hard time sleeping. Also, the beds were very uncomfortable.

Great stay and location
Staff was super friendly and the check in process was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. My only issue was the road noise as the Motel is close to a highway. Other than that, the stay was great. I would come again.
