A decent road side stay. The rooms have been updated but they feel worn and tired still. The restaurant is closed and the pool is also. It’s much better than when I stayed here a few years ago. But, it’s a stretch for the price compared to other hotel/motels near by.

The rooms were renovated and clean. Nice bedding and pillows. I like the drive up to room option and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Checked in late and up early so I can’t comment on the rest of the property.
