Enjoyable stay

When we stayed it was quiet with few guests. The weather was terrible and no local happenings. We were welcomed and had a quiet room with comfortable beds and a nice continental breakfast. It is an older motel but was clean and comfortable

I liked the walking path behind the hotel. However to access it you need to walk on the side of the hotel which has many mole spots making it harder to walk .

It was okay. For the price I was expecting a little more. It was clean, just very outdated and pool area appeared to be falling apart. Served its purpose for a quick overnight baseball trip.
