The staff was so kind. Check in ends at 10pm but when we called and let them know we weren't sure we could make it by 10 they were quick to work with us. The room was clean and comfortable when we finally made it there and was the perfect respite from the long travel day we had had.

There was a half inch gap under our door which allowed moths into our room. It would have been large enough for a mouse to enter. The room was clean, if dated.

We booked and was confirmed a king bed but upon check in was advised no king only queen was available. Had no choice but to accept it. Queen bed was very very uncomfortable 😩. Toilets seemed very low for any size person. Pool was good but the Hot tub was not hot. Room was small but clean. Staff were friendly.

This was great little motel! Older, but clearly well maintained and well loved. Great pool for a quick dip on a hot day on our cross country journey. Close by ice cream and a good breakfast joint the next morning. Would for sure stay again.
