This is an old motel but has been very well taken care of. Super clean. Even the baseboards were clean. There isn’t much to do here or restaurants but 15 min up the road has plenty. Owners were very nice and accommodating.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. I highly recommend this place. The owners put a lot of time and effort in cleaning and maintaining this older motel and it shows. The room was super clean and quiet. We were unfortunately in the area for a celebration of life but were still able to check out the state park springs, it was beautiful and refreshing.

This property is easy to get to while traveling. It was older, but clean, updated, and cute. We walked to the second gas station down and got delicious food from a Deli. We would stop here again if we are passing through the area.

The folks that own this motel are very kind and friendly. It’s not the newest or fanciest place but it’s comfortable and very clean. I had friends in 2 other rooms and they felt the same way as well! Next time I’m going to the springs, I’d stay here again.

This is a very agreeable property. It’s simple, clean and convenient for visits to the springs nearby. The shower head was wiggly and there was a small hole in the shower wall, but other than that it was very well kept. I would recommend to friends

The motel was very clean and the owners were very nice and helpful. They had their office closed and would only do business thru a window. Also they had no handicap accessible rooms.
