What Our Guests Say
Real experiences from real travelers. We're proud of every review.
“My stay was amazing — any poor reviews may be from the past but definitely do not reflect on the current conditions or staff now! The staff was very accommodating, the rooms were meticulously cleaned and stocked better than I've had when staying in $200+ a night resorts. Overall it is a very well run location. If you need a good clean bed for a night or few, I would highly recommend.”

“Excellent facilities for a quiet night away. The lady at the front was polite, courteous, and spoke up once she knew I was hard of hearing. We stayed here a few years ago after we bought our home and decided to stay here again. We were not disappointed — everything was above par.”

“I have stayed at another motel here in town — they have nothing compared to this one. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The price is cheaper than anyone in town. I would recommend this motel to anyone looking for a good night or week stay.”
