10/10 Exceptional

Great staff and great rooms. Beds are on the firm side and I had to get some extra pillows but overall a great experience. Hot water and great water pressure. Now if you’re expecting a 5 star resort go somewhere else. This is an old school motel. Single level with drive up parking right to the door. Only major downfall is the WiFi is slow and tv channels are finicky and sometimes non operational. But for the price it’s a great deal.

The community of people in the area are very friendly, it was safe and a quiet place to sleep. Local food spots were close by and areas we visited where only 30mins away. Perfect place for our small family to stay.

4/10 Fair

We booked here because there would be a breakfast every morning and they had a pool. I turned out that the pool was not yet open for the season... it would have been nice to know that. Breakfast does not start until 8am. Which seems fairly absurd considering the main thing to do around here is outdoorsy stuff and people want an early start. We had to leave at 7:30 both days of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy that amenity either. The room was fairly spacious but everything was pretty run down. The area behind the beds was not well swept. They do not clean the rooms every day which is another amenity I enjoy when staying at a motel so that was sort of a disappointment. The rooms do have a coffee maker, microwave, and good sized mini fridge. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. She let me borrow a bottle opener for the night when I needed one. She got us new towels with no problem. We were on a tight budget for this trip and you get what you pay for I guess. I just wish they hadn't advertised some amenities that were not actually available or were limited.

We used the room for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready for a wedding. The location of the wedding was the fairgrounds and this motel was perfect (across the street). It is an older motel, but was clean.

Checking in was great as we entered the room the smell was extremely awful. The room was infested with fly's and gnats. After speaking to the manager, she offered us a another room. The second room was just as bad. the stench was almost untorerable, the flys

2/10 Poor

Exterior was unkept, trash at entrance walkway. Noisy, because of pets (dogs) barking and attacking other pets. ( Owner of pet appeared to not have pet under control). Guest knocked on door twice around 2-3 am. However, front desk service was very nice.

The staff was great and the room itself wasn’t bad at all. Except the heater was very very old and didn’t really work. But the outside the problem. There a front and back to this place one long single story motel. Front is ok but the speedbymbs will mess your car up should put better ones in .the back tho is long row of bushes and all inside are numbs just living there.and nobody cares . Overall ok place to stay. But lock your car and don’t leave your room unlocked

6/10 Good

2 refrigerators in room and only 1 worked. Phone wasnt plugged in but wires everywhere. View from bathroom window was a junk yard. Bathroom door shimmed oddly and didnt fit door jam, and door was stained badly. Big holes in wall. Graffiti on ground near front door. Plugs didnt work. Exposed fuses from open sub panel. Ice cream left in fridge from previous guest. Looks to be a place for illegal activity based on guys on bicycles going in and out of property. Staff was friendly, cable TV was great, and bed was comfortable. Not recommended.
