We were on our honeymoon! We stopped here for the price and great reviews. We agree with the positive reviews of cleanliness and service these people provide. We were greeted with friendly staff, and got into our room quickly. The place brought us back to nostalgic vacations where motor lodge comes to mind. The room was clean and fresh. Bathroom was cozy with sink just outside the bathroom. Big TV and cool AC.
