We were able to back right up against our door. The room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable. They have taken a lot of care in maintaining the property--beautiful flowers everywhere. It is older but well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would use it again, if in that area.

It fit the Travelocity rating and reviews perfectly. The bed was comfortable, the room very clean, the water hot with good pressure and the staff friendly. As I was only sleeping there the decor was not a factor and the price was much lower than I usually pay. Next time I visit my sister I will choose it again.

Traveling through the area, this was perfect for us. This little no-frills place was super clean, quiet and comfortable. The sweet lady who checked us in is so nice, and made us feel very welcomed. We’ve stayed in many full-service places that weren’t half as good as this one!

Lovely couple running this motel. Very friendly and accommodating. Gave us great suggestions on where to look for dining possibilities, and we enjoyed a Peruvian meal. Comfortable and clean. No special channels on TV, but we were in the area for a sad family occasion, so no big deal. Hostess gave me a bucket of ice which kept cold in the refrigerator. My only suggestion for improvement would be to buy some real glass glasses. I'm always appalled by single use plastic and did not enjoy unwrapping each one and discarding yet more plastic. Would stay here again for certain, however, and recommend highly.
