Though we stayed there for one night it was a pleasant stay. We stayed there with our 4 month old baby and while booking I was bit hesitant to stay in a motel thinking whether it would be comfortable for the little one or not. But trust me everything was perfect. They are maintaining the property very nicely. I would definitely book the same motel if I have to travel that side. Owner was very attentive and helpful. They are very flexible if you are in need of any help. Another added plus point of this motel is that it is on the highway so you won’t be wasting the time entering a town and coming back out while travelling. I have already recommended this motel for my friends. So go ahead and book this motel if you are searching for a place to stay along this route.

Toute une surprise. L’endroit est en bordure d’une route très achalandée, je le considérerais comme lieu pour travailleurs de chantier, gros Pick up et plusieurs très bruyants. Une des chambres avait 2 gros chiens et un chat. Alors qu’à notre arrivée, ils ont insisté à savoir si nous avions un animal. D’énormes travaux seront requis pour mettre cet établissement au goût du jour.

Keep in mind that this review is written during the COVID measures. Service was limited. Friendly staff. Room are old but functional. The killer thing is internet. Speed is less then 1mbps. So on my ipad and Iphone internet wad unusable and limited internet on my macbook. Unfortunately for this reason not return to this hotel in the future. Unfortunate because motel is walking distance to the airport.

The owners were very nice and helpful! Which made a big difference. However, my feedback is as follows: I think it is too pricy for the motel state. It is very outdated and you could tell the rooms are not frequently checked up on. Our room was clean, but at the same time we did notice that the room was probably vacant for some time, and therefore, it was most likley cleaned weeks before we arrived, and not the day before or day of. I think this was would have made the cost reasonable. Also, upgrading the motel would give it a better feel as it has potential to be better. We picked this place based on the reviews, and think it should live up to it.

Ok for quick stay.

Impromptu stay. Pool was great. Room adequate. Only issue was upon arrival I had to clean up a bunch of broken glass from the doorway. Appears someone smashed the lower pane of glass in the screen door. Though the room was nonsmoking, it did still have a smokey odor.

Expensive Price for a Good Basic Room

Very clean and fresh smelling room. Despite being near an airport, it was surprisingly quiet. I don't think we heard a single plane. We stayed for two days and housekeeping did a great job of cleaning our room while we were out. Overall, a good place to stay. I did feel that the $160/ night cost was way too expensive for this motel and the area it's located in. There was nothing offered to justify that high of a price. It was a basic room with fridge and microwave. No coffee or breakfast included.

The management was very nice and accommodating. Facilities are in good condition. Beware if you're planning on using the outdoor pool, however. For some unfathomable reason, it's only open from 3PM - 9PM.

Find a different $100 motel

Got charged extra for my daughter. Would not have booked this place If I knew it was extra per person upon check in. Not like we receiving any free breakfast. Felt like the hotel owing was watching us, waiting to see what else he could charge for.

Proximity to Santa's Village is great. Didnt use the pool - the hours are from 3:00-9:30, kind of late opening. No hot water to shower with. Ive stayed in much nicer places at this same price point.
