The room smelled musty and felt damp. After a couple hours, clothing and other items we brought with us also felt damp. Room was otherwise clean. We were there during the off-season (as we were told at check-in) so the provided breakfast was very sparse.

This is a place you stay at for night. The price was reasonable, the pool was nice, the grounds were clean. The room smelled damp and could have been a bit cleaner.

This was my third time staying here and it's been great each time. Friendly staff, very clean. Comfortable beds, cold air conditioning. The fridge and microwave worked fine. It's kind of off the beaten path a little bit which is one of my favorite things about it. Very quiet and peaceful location.

Great place to stay!

We have stayed here many time and it has turned better. New owners have remodeled and have turned this motel to the best turn for the buck...clean, quiet and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more!
