Great stay here this past week. Beds were very comfortable. Housekeeping came promptly every day. Very friendly staff. Location was also good. I especially liked that it was mostly adults while we were there. Kept things nice and quiet!

I was pleasantly surprised. We have always stayed down the street at a different place. This was pretty last minute. The entire staff was very friendly. Things were well maintained and clean.

Great location & good Motel for the price. Overall room was clean & it was nice to have a larger fridge than most which was nice. Surprisingly quiet, I didn't hear anything over AC and I'm a light sleeper. Beds were comfortable, stagg was friendly. The only major downtown was the bathrooms are small with no counter space & shower pressure is horrible temp is unpredictable.

Place was cool. Rooms a little outdated, but very clean. Great location, you can walk right to town in 10 min. The pool was great. Bonfire at night was awesome. Very cool place. Recommend checking it out.

First time staying here and it was ok. It’s walking distance to many stores and restaurants. Easy on and off the highway. The property grounds are very clean. Very quiet area. The staff were very nice from front desk to house keeping. I do highly recommend they do a little updating, the cottage room was not well lit, the rugs felt moist and the room had a smell of cleaning products masking alcohol and cigarettes. The sheets were clean but stained and the TV didn’t work. Over all 7/10

We had a wonderful stay last week with the exception of the fire alarm going off at 6 am waking all of us up for the day. The room was clean and well maintained. One recommendation would be to update the dated carpeting with some new flooring but otherwise the room was fine for our needs with comfortable bedding and amenities. The property was nice with a warm heated pool, towels provided, the kids enjoyed the firepit and smores kit ($7) as well as outside games. (Another request to fix the furthest stairs on the outside as they did not feel stable at all.) Easy walk to downtown area with a slightly harder walk back uphill but still quite walkable. Fair prices and we hope to visit again.
