Not bad for the price.

The hotel was clean and the owners were friendly. We appreciated that they allowed pets, as we were traveling with our dog. The room was comfortable, and it was pleasantly quiet—no noise from outside. However, the toilet didn’t flush properly and the bathtub drained slowly. There’s also a spider issue that needs to be addressed; I killed three during our two-day stay, including a brown recluse—all in the bathroom. The breakfast was minimal, though the area was clean and well maintained. We've stayed at this motel several times under different ownership. While there have been some improvements, a few more wouldn’t hurt. Overall, we’ll stay again.

Yuk!!!!

I cannot say enough bad things about this place!! The only good thing was that the bed was very good!! The breakfast was almost non existent. The A/C did not work correctly. The TV did not work, had to call the manager to fix it. The hot water was Luke warm at best. It took the manager 15 minutes to show up to check me in. The alarm clock was unplugged and had to find an outlet and set it. The outside ptoperty was very messy!!

It looks as if they are trying to renovate the place. The chair in our room needed to be replaced or stain removed. The paint on the walls looked as if perhaps it either needed to be repainted or perhaps paint areas where the paint was scraped off. The caulking by the tub and floor looked like it should be replaced to make it look nice. I felt safe there, but with some little touches, it could be made really nice.

Don’t be fooled like us

We were fooled by the 9.0 rating, don’t be like us. Unless we had the one bad room in this hotel I would not rate it this high at all. The beds were awfully uncomfortable. I think I could feel every spring. The pet fee of $10 is actually $20. While walking around outside it became clear the hotel it is falling into disrepair. Did not stay for breakfast, ran away early in the morning.

I have stayed at this motel 4 or 5 times previously. It's a good, but not great, value for the cost ($90/night). However, in my room (#107), the lighting is so poor. Only 3 total lights, and the bulbs seemed 40 watts at most. Cannot read. Bring your own light if you stay here.

The hall and room smelled and looked clean! When I looked in our room's bathroom, there was a dark brown bath mat laying in the tub. I have never seen a bath mat in a motel room, so maybe a prior renter left it. When I picked it up, it was slimy and a little moldy on underside. We had a second room for a relative, and their room did not have a bath mat in the bathtub.
