This was not a family type vacation. I came to fish and wanted a nice clean place to clean up and sleep. The room was clean the water was hot. The manager was very nice and helpful. He keeps a close eye on the place and really wants you to enjoy your stay. I would stay there again.

The clerk checking me in was on her phone. She was rude and was annoyed that she had to check myself and others in. She tossed the hotel card after I signed everything and walked away. The room was awful. Cigarette burns all over the bathtub, dirty towels and sheets. $110 for that?!

Nice simple place

Nice place to spend the night and plenty of parking. I had to transport a Mack box truck and had no issues finding parking here. My only complaint was that the heater did not work in the room so I was freezing but I just needed to spend the night.

The room was hot ( the AC had not been turned on ahead of time. Only 1 lamp out of 3 worked! The receptacle for the coffee machine and hair dryer did not work! Took the coffee maker over to the 1 lamp that worked and had plug ins and the blessed coffee machine did not work! I would not recommend this place to anyone

There is NO restaurant on the property as stated in the description of the motel. It is an older motel that has had some renovation. The room was clean but the bed was a little soft for us. Otherwise, the room was fine and quiet. Location is about 7 miles from Milton so the only businesses close-by are gas stations and a Waffle House.
