Disappointed

Room was fine but the Wifi was not strong enough to make it down the hall to our room. We asked management what could be done and they did not seem to care. Does not seem to be that much of an issue to fix.

This was a super cute motel. We needed a room for a couple nights and glad we stayed here. The owner was very sweet and you could tell he has put in a lot of work into the remodeling. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

The only thing noticed two charges for the room fee were on pending on my credit card. Today one went thru and the other in pending hopefully that one will fall off.

AWESOME STAY

The room was exceptionally clean and had everything a person would need, even for an extended weekend stay. Large enough parking lot to park boats, RVs, etc. Staff/owners were nice and accommodating.

Overrated on Hotel.com; needs improvement

Pros: clean, comfortable, quiet area, working TV/microwave/fridge/hot water Cons: Inadequate/limited front desk hours. No emergency contact info. Emergency maintenance not available (one person no help for a flooded room for 3+ hours). Some front desk personnel do not understand English adequately enough for this customer-oriented business. Narrow halls and outdated building/furniture; staff could not open double doors to allow luggage cart passage. Room light switch at door turns ALL lights on/off (very bad when other people are sleeping); one AC outlet didn't work. No Wi-Fi (they have it, it did NOT work adequately). Poor to no cell reception area, zero inside the building. $50 "fee/taxes" per night on top of room rate well exceeds 13% at other hotels. No daily trash disposal of room's waste cans. No maid service in room Conclusion: I would not recommend this place, nor stay here again. The Hotels.com rating of 8.6 was unrealistic, and should have been more like a 7.0 or so.

This motel was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed even had printed sheets that were very comfortable. The towels were like the ones we use at home, nice and plush. I highly recommend this motel.

Great place

Quick trip to visit my father-in-law. We’ve been staying at this property about once a month for the past 7 years (with a long hiatus last year and this). It’s generally really good. Some of the rooms have a challenging thermostat (unless they’ve been changed over), but all in all, no real complaints. The owners are both great!

The only complaints my we had was the extreme smells of both rooms, a cross between cleaning spray and perfume odors. We had to keep the fans running all the time.
