Very good

Good stay the staff was a little hard to find but otherwise beside the few bugs we saw crawling around which is to be expected from the wilderness it was decent for what it was
Room warmed up quickly (January stay), everything was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
They wouldn't let me check in when I confirmed the day before that I would be coming in late. Had to pay for an extra room. They don't know how to communicate.
This would have been the 3rd time we stayed here, but when we arrived, there was a note taped to the front desk saying they overbooked and they reserved a room for us at the Evergreen Motel. The 1st time staying there, there was no one at the front desk and we had to go around back and talk to owners sitting on their deck. The 2nd time, we requested a ground floor room, but got 2nd floor accommodations. We won't bother making arrangements with this motel in the future.
Clean, older, recently updated motel. Waited almost 5 minutes for someone to come to the desk to check me in. Young person with almost no customer service skills. Seemed like I was inconveniencing him. Other than that, it's a good, basic place to stay.
This motel was great. Don’t be fooled by the older looking sign out by the road! It was updated clean and the family was very nice. Air conditioner worked great and price was reasonable!
