8/10 Good
"The motel was nice, comfortable, and clean. Walls felt a little thin, but no issues. The location was convenient for us. We had a lovely conversation with a couple of other guests over breakfast. Pickings were a little thin over breakfast on Thursday morning. The desk clerk said they do a bigger breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings."

"I just loved the nostalgic somewhat western way it was decorated. I've stayed in many condos since 2002. None even came close to being to having all the utensils etc as this one. On top of that there were other things you would never expect like sandwich bags sugar ice in the ice trays and on and on. Very unique setting outside- you'd have to see it to know its like noother."
