Outside of the motel is in a dirty, grungy state, however once I opened the door to my room, we were pleasantly surprised by the updated interior and decor.

LOVE this place. Management is so kind and genuinely wants to make sure you have a pleasant stay. The rooms are beautiful and you can tell someone paid attention to detail while designing them! Very clean. I travel with service dogs and have stayed here twice with no funny business- they are educated and respectful!

The outside has no curb appeal - driveway and parking lot needs resurfacing. Very dark rooms - no overhead lighting. Bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable.

Wedding Weekend

The room and bathroom was very clean. The bed was somewhat comfortable. Suggest a mattress and comforter upgrade. The decor was very nice. Big screen TV. Plenty of shops within minutes. Reasonably priced. The building could use a "face lift". Overall a good stay.

Excellent customer service by the manager

The manager was excellent, she went out of her way to accommodate our arrival time. She was outstanding with communication. The room was somewhat dated but was very clean and definitely worth the money.

Admittedly from the road looks like your typical low budget motel, however the recently renovated room was fantastic. Large flat screen tv, fridge, comfortable beds. On site manage was fantastic to deal with. They even received compliments from a nearby dining establishment while I was waiting on dinner on how much care the manager is putting into upgrading. Definitely plan on staying when working nearby next year.

Nice Quiet One-Night Stay

Needed a place close to Mountain Creek to stay for a Spartan race I did over the weekend. This was a great place to stay, clean, close to a few restaurants, and Jackie the Manager was very friendly and nice. If I ever need a place to stay around this area again, I will book here if available.

The staff was excellent, friendly and accommodating! I had messaged them and they took care of my needs before I arrived! Popular hotel chains have struggled with this issue! The room was extremely clean and cozy. I love a room with hardwood floors! The locals outside were an added touch and extremely helpful with recommendations !

Great place!

It was very obvious when we walked into our room, that this cute, quaint, retro Motel is a passion project for the owners.  They put a lot of effort into making the rooms comfortable, clean and one of a kind.  This is not your typical cookie cutter Motel experience.  Each room has a theme.  We stayed in the Pink room, with colorful towels, bed linens, curtains, etc.  The room had kitchy, retro elements such as a teal blue, retro style microwave and colorful artwork on the walls. The owner was so nice and accommodating to our request to check in early.  She even texted me with her personal number to check on us and let us know to contact her with any needs or requests. We enjoyed our 2 night stay here and highly recommend this Motel. A few suggestions -  A coffee maker in the room, although there is a Dunkin Donuts about a third of a mile up the road. Access to an Ice Machine. Note - They are in the process of remodeling the exterior.  I am sure when they are done it is going to be the cutest mid- century modern destination spot.
