Cutest little gem around
We haven’t stayed at a “motel” in forever because they are usually a little sketchy. We loved this adorable morel. It was renovated and cute and I would stay here again and again. They had a very nice game center in the courtyard. The rooms were spacious and your car is right outside your door.

this is an older motel that has been renovated. Our room was very clean and very comfortable. They have an automatic door that you access on your phone. After we came in the manager, came and checked in on us and actually gave us the keys in case the door lock did not work later in the evening. This hotel was close to everything. We enjoyed our stay here no frills just a clean and comfortable room.

AC unit in the room was noisy and must’ve had mold inside b/c I woke up with stuffy nose and feeling sick. AC was not able to cool the room adequately even on the lowest setting. The bed was way too soft for me. But on the positive side, the staff was very friendly. The room was clean and had coffee, pot, refrigerator, bottled water, and other amenities if you needed it. And the price was right, and it was convenient to the main street restaurants and shops.

Renewed.
The service was exceptional! The place was an old motel that had been remodeled. I liked it. It was a simple family owned motel. No frills. But they did offer snacks for breakfast.

The staff at The Blue Gem were top notched individuals. They made check in and check out easy. As my stay coincided with the arrival of Hurricane Debby I left a day early. The hotel refunded me one day, which wasn't expected but very much appreciated. The room was somewhat updated, but the AC unit couldn't cool the room down well enough, even at night. I would recommend upgrading those units. Overall a nice place to stay.
