Originally, we chose this property for its price and proximity to our event but were pleasantly surprised. The property was clean, the central tiki bar a popular hang out amongst the locals, and the heated pool was a pleasant way to relax after a long day. The beds were comfortable, the showers hot, and the small kitchenette room was helpful for preparing an early morning coffee keeping snacks on hand for the evening. A cute place for a couple who are looking for a hole-in-the-wall style place to enjoy on a budget.

Great place and great price. James at the front desk was very friendly and helpful even when we arrived for check in at 1 o’clock in the morning! He drew us a little map so we could find our room with ease. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend checking out the tikki bar.

Pleasantly surprising. We would stay here again! This motel had the best shower pressure of any hotel, motel, B&B, expensive hotel we have ever stayed at! It was spotless, modernized, and surprisingly quiet considering it’s an a main highway and on the flight path of an airport. Centrally located to restaurants and shopping. Great value for the money.
