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.

The check Inn person was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and beds comfy. The experience was disappointing due to the other guests during our stay. Neighbor was vulgar and fighting verbally with spouse in wee early hours.

The motel was dated, not as clean as it should have been and as one of the most expensive rooms we got on our trip, it would rate at the bottom for value.
