Very disappointed! False advertising on their website, it showed a pool and Wooly Bullys restaurant/bar in their parking lot. Both were closed and have been for awhile according to the guy that checked me in. The air conditioning unit is loud (a ringing noise). There is a nasty dirt ring around the bottom of the tub, looks like it hasnt been cleaned ever. The laminate flooring at the foot of the bed isn't cut properly and is a trip hazard. I didn't see anything about a pet fee online but they charged me $45, that's way more than most places. I have a very disappointed 6 year-old that was looking forward to playing in the pool. I would not recommend this place and I won't be staying here again.

I love this place. Have stayed here several times and like that it's no frills while still being clean and professional. Just a straight-up good motel. No annoyances. A quiet place to get away, and the property is big so you can walk around and get some air.

Avoid at all costs!
If you book through a 3rd party and prepay for your room they will ask for your card upon checking and charge you more and say its a deposit then never put back on your card. Avoid here at all costs!

Clean, comfortable, and quiet
Small thing kept me from giving it a perfect 10. It's an older hotel, but it's very well maintained and very clean! The lobby was locked a lot, except during breakfast hours, and response to the doorbell was not very quick. No kleenex in the room, which is a necessity for me. And I wish there was a second lighted mirror in the room, so two women could get makeup on at the same time. All in all, it was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Also, it was in a perfect location for our stay.
