Shower is tiny! Water pressure is great but for a large bathroom space i dont know why the shower is so small. Nice, clean, quiet place thats great for an overnight or weekend. Not modern but not rundown, just nice mid priced stay.

Had a really bad smell and the property was ran down really bad. The AC unit was extremely loud and went off every 15 minutes for a couple mins. We did like the pool and hot tub tho.

We really liked this motel. The owners were a kind family who allowed us to use their personal water hose to rinse off our kayak. These owners have really made a nice motel business here.

Meh

Convenient but on the main road so noisy. Needs up-dating. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom needs a coat of paint-cabinet was old, peeling wood. Tub did not drain. Room's carpet was relatively new but needed a good cleaning. Light from the hall and room next door seeped under the doors. The "grab and go " breakfast was not good. We hit McDonalds' on the way out of town.
