Annoying late night smokers!

The room was great, bed was really comfortable. Did not have any breakfast. We had our dog with us, the dog area was next to a picnic table that was occupied by smokers the entire time we stayed who were there every day, night until 2-3 am, very annoying. They were very loud, not sure if they were patrons or worked at the motel. You would not have been able to utilize the picnic area, I suggest moving the smoking area to the far end of the motel, so patrons could sit and enjoy the picnic area

The updates to the room and bathroom are excellent. Great bed! Wonderful to have a full sized fridge. Super friendly staff members. Our only suggestion is to have better light-blocking on both windows.

Excellent overall, I would say my only criticism is the beds. They are not very comfortable. But, I can overlook that because everything else was fantastic!

This was a “Mom and Pop” hotel that has been updated and refurbished. When you arrive, it still has the appeal of an older hotel. Do not let that fool you. The rooms have been updated. It still has a few amenities that are revenant to older hotels but modernized. We loved it and the office staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Name does not reflect the stay.

No phone, only one comfortable chair, shelves with towels was too high. The carpeting was filthy, looked like the only remedy would be to replace it. Bathroom floor was also dirty. The bed seemed ok, but did not make up for tnr floor. We will never stay here again.
