Older property but neat, clean and obviously they have made efforts to make updates. The recliners in the rooms are a definite plus. Breakfast is in a seperate building but well done ( as far as free hotel breakfasts go). We would stay there again.

Perfect weekend getaway. Super sweet staff members, comfortable beds, pretty property to look at, and the pool was amazing. Breakfast was just ok but that's pretty normal with hotel breakfast. At least they offer something because a lot of hotels are starting not to anymore. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Nicely updated hotel

Much nicer than I expected! From the outside I could see this was an older hotel. But the room was completely updated: new flooring, new appliances, new bathroom. Quiet, comfortable, and a pleasant surprise.

Check-in was great. Front desk clerk was responsive in getting my neighbors to quiet their partying. AC and fridge were noisy all night. I appreciated how clean the room appeared to be, and bed was comfortable.

A pleasant surprise

This little motel was convenient, clean and comfortable as well as affordable. It looks like the rooms have been updated with a nice TV, flooring and a beautiful recliner. The only disappointment was that breakfast on the weekend ended at 9 am! I give it a solid 3 stars! for its class. I would definitely recommend and return myself.
Comfortable room
Best recliner. Please let me know where I can purchase.
French Bidet. I must get one! Never saw in any classy hotels.
