We were just passing through so were not concerned about most of the questions, such as shopping, dining options or transportation. We did really enjoy the couple who checked us in, as they were very friendly and helpful with information. We would stay here again.

The description says sound proof but we can hear snoring from the next room, talking and tv you can hear all the cars etc. Loud street noise. Definitely wasn’t sound proof. Breakfast was very very limited only thing hot was waffles they didn’t even have butter for bread. Parking was very limited. On top of everything I was charged twice once through Travelocity and when I got to the motel they said Travelocity didn’t send anything over when I asked about the 2nd charge they insisted that they only put a hold on my card for incidentals but it was clearly a charge on my card. If I were asked if I would stay there again it would definitely would say absolutely not. The only pro was the room was clean.

The property itself is nice, rooms are good and staff is great.. only reasons i didnt max the review out is hecause I got tne room partially for access to indoor pool that nobody mentioned was down and drained...yet we still pay "motel with pool prices" The only other complaint i have is the gas station across the way seems a haven for addicts after hours

Was a pretty basic motel room, and it was clean. Some modernization, could use more. Continental breakfast was very basic, not much there. Nice place for an overnight stay. * Hosts attentive to helping me get the TV back online.
