"A top-notch motel. Don't hesitate to stay here.2019-10-14"
"Nice, quiet hotel with friendly employees. The room was clean and looked recently remodeled; there was a sign apologizing, but there was no mess to be seen. Awesome hot breakfast with plenty of variety and seating. We'll definitely stay here again.2019-05-21"
"If you have a pet, this is the place to stay. The room was clean and smelled nice, and I didn't hear any dogs barking. Our room was conveniently on the 1st floor. But the check-in clerk was more interested in answering the phone than helping me, and the other clerk was crabby when we asked for more towels. Nice pool area; the water was warm but salty. Nice, clean whirlpool, but it wasn't warm enough. Great breakfast, and the attendant kept it stocked with fresh food. I recommend this motel for a short stay.2016-01-20"
"Our room was above the pool, and didn't have blackout drapes. But it was clean and tastefully-decorated. Staff was friendly, engaging, and helpful. Wonderful breakfast.2015-04-27"

"Good hotel for an affordable price. The room was clean and had pleasant decor, and everything worked. The bed was comfortable.

"Nice hotel, but the handicap room was just a regular room with hand rails. The bathtub was too high for me to get into.2019-09-16"
"Our room was clean but humid, and the carpet was wet and sticky. The front desk clerk was the only pleasant employee at the hotel. The others completely ignored us. Look for other options.2019-07-08"
"Inexpensive hotel. I had a non-smoking room, but it smelled a bit like smoke. I liked the room layout, but not the long mirror for a headboard. The bed was comfortable, though.

"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. The fire alarm went off shortly after our arrival, and the front desk clerk said it wouldn't be turned off until the fire department arrived. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable. I'd recommend booking here.2015-06-08"
