Wonderful hotel—we always enjoy our stay! One thing that we have consistently noticed is the poor quality of the WiFi signal to the rooms—it’s often impossible to connect or even watch Netflix. Other than that, a wonderful place to stay in an beautiful location!

It was a cute place with a nice grab and go breakfast. I was a little disappointed cause it was more than I expected to pay (Expedia gave me a price but I had to pay what the motel was) and the lady who helped us wasn’t very helpful when I inquired about it. Other than that t was an amazing experience for my special birthday.
