Very convenient to the town of Wall itself! Loved that it was walkable and there were numerous dining options. The motel was a bit worn, but well run. Our biggest concern was the musty odor in our room. Breakfast was fantastic and so was staff.

This was a great little place to stay in Wall! Close to all the attractions, comfortable, clean, quiet and a great breakfast with the nicest, hardest working guy running it. The pools were nice and clean, and you can easily walk to shops and restaurants. It’s nothing fancy but perfectly adequate and a great value.
