We enjoy staying here when we make our annual road trip from Texas to NY to visit family! Since we have a dog, it’s usually difficult to find a nice hotel that welcomes pets. We are so happy that your hotel still welcomes us! Our rooms were beautifully updated and very clean and comfortable! Would highly recommend and will choose this location for every road trip from now on!

Nicest place we stayed on our travels

This was an excellent motel. Very good breakfast, comfortable bed, nice clean room. There was a towel sculpture on the bed (like on cruise ships) to welcome us, which was a very nice touch.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
We found out after we checked in they no longer had a pool at the facility. Our room was toasty when we checked in and took most of the night to get to 72 degrees. We were on the 3rd floor & the Dollar General had a spotlight that shined directly into our room, even with the blackout curtain pulled down. The hallway is noisy if there are loud talkers or kids running up and down.
