Nice place to stay. The motel is older but the room was very clean, paint appeared fresh, the room was large and the furniture was in good shape. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well to cool the room quickly. The bar had very good food and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely stay there again. Only complaint regarding the amenities is that I wish the bar was open later.

Peaceful stay for 3 young girls but main door to our room had to be slammed in order for it to latch we came back to the room a couple times and seen we left it open. Spiders kept popping up throughout the stay in our bed, bathroom, and sink we finally looked up and cobwebs were pretty much everywhere on ceiling. Other than that would stay again due to great scenery and amenity’s provided just a heads up if those things bother you.
