One of our best most comfortable stays. It is a older motel. Rooms have been updated but nothing fancy, and are neat and comfortable. We had a suite and it was larger than really needed newer flooring, and had more room space than we needed in the room. Nice larger refrigerator and microwave. Very convenient to every thing. We stayed 6 days and enjoyed pool also. Would definitely stay again.

We were there for one week wish the housekeeping would have changed the sheets and brought new towels and swept the floor. At least once during our stay would have been nice. All in all was a very nice place to stay. Would stay there again. Very good rates also

Hotel was very clean. Would be nice if they offered free breakfast and if the coffee was in the lobby. Also room was freezing. AC was set on 60. Other than that, the hotel is very nice and clean. Staff was very friendly.
