Staff was very friendly and room was nice. It’s not the fanciest place in the world, but exactly what we were looking for. A quiet place to rest our heads in between visiting the Amusement park and water park. Would recommend.

The room is big with kitchenette, newly renovated. The staff is nice as he let us moved to other room, because the room given to us had cigarette smell. The nightly cost of the room is affordable too.

A quick stop for an overnight. Very convenient. Only complaint was too few electric outlets. Could not plug in 2 phones and 2 iPads plus hearing aids because outlets were needed for A/C , fridge and lamps. But all in all a good stay.

The staff were lovely, easy to deal with and they’re a very nice family. The bed was the hardest thing I’ve ever slept on and very comparable to a floor. Everything was clean. Very good water pressure. Great price. Parking was great.

Older (50's style) drive up motel. Family owned. Room was large & clean. TV worked OK, w cable, but few channels. Unfortunately I stayed on an unseasonably cold night, & there was no heat in the room. Got very cold. Clock in my room did not work, & smoke detector chirping for a new battery. Got a lot of noise & cigarette smoke from adjoining rooms. I mentioned the smoke detector upon check out, but not sure the man understood what I meant. Seemed to have limited English comprehention

Nice little stop

Nice little place to stop. Wouldn’t stay more than one night. A/C was noisy and did not work very well. Blanket had holes in it, replaced without a problem. Food was good in the cafe.

We enjoyed our stay in room 17 it was great for the price . Only a couple of things the mattresses needed to be up graded as they were very hard we were both stiff after sleeping on them and my only other complaint would have been the bathroom door did not just right it needs to be planed down as it was binding when you tried to shut it . Other then that I recommend people check out this motel very friendly staff and it’s in a safe area .
