Hotel was clean and Ok. Breakfast is blah better off going to a McDonalds or Dennys. After check ot had a surprise charge to my credit card for 8.58 but no mention at check out nor invoice for the funds. It is probably a charge for something stupid but should have been disclosed.

Quaint little motel-old motor inn of sorts that has been remodeled. I wish there had been exterior photos other than the pool on the website to give me that pic. We got a great last-minute deal. There was hot breakfast with options. Room was clean, but smelled a little funky. Pool and hot tub were clean and refreshing. I wish they’d had a gym not many places to run around there (sidewalks are narrow and cars drive fast…). Trolly stop was super convenient at the main road in front of the hotel, but it’s up to a 15 minute wait and a 12 minute walk, so we walked.
