Check in was easy, lady at Check in area was friendly and helpful. The cabin was a nice surprise, very clean with comfortable beds and pillows. The only drawback was traffic noise.

Don’t stay here
Wasn’t as nice as it appeared in the picture. No air conditioning. Was informed after 2 days with no room service that we had to “sign up for daily room service when we booked the room”. Never heard of that before especially when booking a room for 5 days. We took the dirty towels to the office ourselves so they wouldn’t mildew (as well as the trash) and had them give us clean ones. It was also loud at night as it is in the middle of town.

Spacious rooms
Good location and very spacious room with kitchenette. Check-in was super easy with a key pad. They even had some free snacks in the office. Room was clean, wi-fi was good and the rooms had good darkening shades. We appreciated being able to pull up right to the door of the motel.

Good Value
No Air Conditioning. Screened window with a box fan was the only way to cool down the room. Unfortunately, all the rooms are on the ground level, so security was a concern. Other seasons beside summer would be fine.
