What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I booked a room for my little brother, and he absolutely loved it! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone, for any occasion. They really make you feel at home.”
“OK for the price. Pretty basic. Small microwave and fridge. TV. Smelled slightly musty, but was okay after running the AC. No coffee. I personally wouldn't leave things in your car overnight, but seemed pretty safe.”
“Rooms were clean the motel probably had about 3 rooms occupied during the week. Overall pleased with my stay.”
“For my money, I believe I got a wonderful stay and experience. As soon as I walked in, it smelled soo good. I can tell they clean their rooms. The front desk people are just amazing people, super friendly. I had to save this motel on my maps. Will definitely be staying here again if I ever come back to visit.”
