Disliked: Amenities
Hotel is under new ownership. Owners seem nice but the hotel needs a lot of updating. It was clean, but a fresh coat of paint, replacing doors, and possibly a new mattress would make the stay better, not just a mattress pad. There is no complimentary breakfast due to “covid restrictions”. Heat/AC system was struggling. Close to every thing we wanted to do in the area.

I wasn’t expecting much, but this motel impressed me. The room was bigger than I thought and very clean. The bed was comfortable and I slept through the night. The bathroom was well kept and smelled fresh. Hot water worked perfectly for a long shower. Parking was easy to find and convenient. The staff was helpful and friendly. I’d happily come back here.

All Good, Will Be Back

Was exactly what I needed for a solo bday trip to the area. Minimal, friendly, clean. Didn’t mind that it’s obvious the place has been there a while. The parking lot has a huge pothole, which isn’t great. Just drive around it and be grateful for the great price and nature at your doorstep.
