The staff was great. They seem to be renovating the rooms. I was on a 10 day road trip that included 5 different hotel stays. This property had the best bed in my opinion. The room itself is not luxurious but it is very comfortable. The only negative i have is that the shower space is small and not well lite.

Clean with a Fun Retro Vibe
Great location, clean and comfortable. Easy check in and out. Great and easy parking in our own garage attached to our room! Unfortunately, I wasn't there long enough to use the pool, which was beautiful. It had a very retro, fun vibe!

I have stayed at this motel many times. The motel has been beautifully remodeled and is well worth the price. The woman manager is very helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. One of the older rooms I once had in the back needs better remodeling.

Sucked dirty and very uncomfortable beds and the desk person wanted to argue/debate with me about something he ended up being wrong about. Would not recommend staying there especially for the wacky prices they have. No thank u please
