The price was great. The breakfast wonderful, with lots of verity. The motel was clean, beds were comfortable, and everything worked as it should. The pool was clean and warm. We were very impressed.

Parking was easy. Room was clean. Tv/cable did not work. Unable to adjust temperature in room (was a little humid). Overall it was fone aside from those two little issues.

Room was very clean. Seemed to have near new paint, carpet, furniture, bathroom. Halls were not so clean. Carpets were older and dirty. Hallways smelled like a wet dog. Breakfast wasn't great. Cereal, toast, waffles, something in a warmer but I didn't check. Ended up going elsewhere. Staff was very friendly. Easy check in and out. Overall met the need of a place to sleep and room was clean. Would stay again. Hopefully the hallways would be updated before the next time.

This was our first stay here and we will be back. We were very pleased with the room and the place itself. The location was perfect for us
On a future stay, we might ask ask for a bit more distance between ourselves and the front area as that got a bit noisy at times but it wasn't intolerable.
