I came here for a tournament. My kids and I were so impressed with how nice the rooms are. The rooms were newly renovated, new bedding, the bathroom was spectacular, and everything was so clean. The staff were accomodating, very kind, and helpful. We stayed in the double queen kitchen room and loved it. Will definitely stay here again, highly recommend

THE BEST Motel or accommodations in the whole area, by far. Rooms are well put together, extremely clean and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great, towels were all clean and fresh! Very quick and friendly check in. We really appreciated our stay here!

Everything brand new, we had a suite with a full kitchen and unlike other hotels that say full kitchen this one had everything. Toaster, kettle, dish soap, dish towel, brand new dish scrubber. This was the best value for money and far exceeds most motels anywhere. Great service. Really 10/10

This hotel is not the most luxurious, but the owners are very friendly and helpful . The upkeep was good. We enjoyed our stay, not because of the surroundings, but because of the owners!
