Great little motel. Rooms were very clean and stocked with essential items. Pool was nice and even had friends come by to swim and visit. It’s has a beautiful view of the Swanee River . Also has a nice fire pit and setting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Owners were very nice and eager to help with anything. Definitely a nice spot for a good night sleep. We will be back.
