I felt we got a room that was being renovated but not quite there. There was not a shelf to put anything on in the shower. No soap dish either. Had to put shower items at bottom of shower. No phone in room and no coffee maker. I called before I booked to make sure there was a hair dryer in the rooms. I was told yes. There was no HD in room but I did get one upon request. Staff is super nice and friendly. Overall stay waa nice. Maybe would not have stayed so lone but we were just to worn out to move around after dealing with family issues. Vert convenient location.

Room reminded me of my college dorm- painted concrete block walls. Shower had cold and very cold water to choose from. Pluses- quiet and bed was comfortable. Okay for my purposes for one night. I’d look elsewhere in the future.

A lovely motel with potential. The staff are excellent. The rooms are a decent size. Looks like some renovations have been started but need finishing. Only warm, not hot, water in the shower.

The person at the front desk was great. Check in and out were very easy. Breakfast was surprisingly plentiful despite the lack of space. They are doing some construction to make a lounge area. The room was okay. We slept well, which is the main point. The shower did not produce hot water and is also quite small. Parking was right in front of our room and it was nice to be in a single story building. My main complaint besides the lack of hot water is the doors. The bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and the front door was also sticky. We couldn’t use the security lock on the door because it doesn’t quite line up.
