Helpfulness of Dillon/Dylan initially, then Tammy (name?) at check-in, then Dillon again at check-out. I had to switch to the room next door because of some equipment failure but that was no big deal. It was quiet, comfortable, convenient and reasonably priced.

The theme and decor of the motel is retro and very cute. Very affordable pricing, which is the main reason we picked this motel. The staff we dealt with was nice and friendly. The room wasn't huge but it worked for our needs. Had all necessary amenities in the room. The bed was ok, we always struggle finding a hotel/motel with a bed comfortable enough for us, but it wasn't terrible.

All the basic conveniences, but paint peeling in shower area, very noisy ac unit and poor visibility at night as sign not lit. Nice fluffy pillows and bulk supply of soap, conditioner and shampoo.

I have stayed here before, and it's a cool place, but it needs a good sprucing up. Not sure I would go back until they get this done -- there are other options in the area. No breakfast, the hot tub area needs to be cleaned up, and it needs some TLC.

The flooring is allergen-free. Two beds means 8 pillows so I used them as a pillow topper. Slept great. Front window screen was intact so I opened for cool night air. Felt safe in this area. Wifi was great. Used the nook for a fitness Zoom meeting. The sound machine with birds lifted my mood. The bathtub held water so I enjoyed relaxing before bed. There were plenty of USB and wall outlets. The fridge worked. Mostly the quiet was appreciated. It was a short drive to Anytime Fitness in the morning, before hitting the road again. Thanks!

You can tell the property owners are taking steps to upgrade the motel... new flooring, sink, and toilet. They also had ultra plush towels, fluffy pillows, and comfortable beds. The room was cozy and quiet. We will stay, again.
