Nope, not again
Omg... the worst check in on this trip. The host was dismissive and didn't even look up my reservation, he just asked for ID & credit card. He mumbled through the times for breakfast and some other things that I didn't quite catch, like he just wanted me out of their lobby, very rude. The room smelled danky so much that wanted to go to a store to purchase air freshener. There was black mold in the shower! I'm glad we only stayed here one night. The online pics were misleading, as were the ratings. Nope, not staying here again.

A no-frills place to stay. Is the continental breakfast blue satisfactory. The landscape in grounds were very nice. They could have a little bit more attention to detail on the room itself there were some cobwebs I'm missing electrical outlet covers. Other than that I enjoyed it.

Excellent stay. Older remodeled hotel with nice gardens and dog park. The only issue is in our dog approved room, the chair smelled musty. Otherwise, excellent stay. Great for the price on a Friday as well. Would definitely stay there again.

This property is a good budget choice. I give it 5 stars for that fact. We stayed for a couple of nights and it was clean with newly remodeled shower/toilet that was very nice. The area around the property seems to be well done but not completely kept up.

Disliked: Staff & service
The motel was inexpensive compared to other options, so I hate to complain. My main beef was that the mattress was hard and lumpy; and so were the pillows. I was hoping to get a comfy night’s rest after a week of camping and, honestly, my camp air mattress was better! This is pretty normal for a motel- but had to put in earplugs to drown out the noise of other guests’ stomping and door-slamming til after midnight . The included breakfast was disappointing - little more than coffee and toast; no protein.

Older place but nicely redone. Fridge didn't work - checked that it was plugged in & it was. Took a walk around the property - some nice garden areas & a green space with a small dog park & picnic area with grills. Property is big. Not much else to walk to but that's fine. Glad it's clean. Wish there were more than 2 small pillows but appreciated the extra blanket.

Good room, nicely decorated. Carpet had a few marks but everything else was clean and tidy. Nice and quiet as our room was at the back of property away fromm the road. Nice to have an area to eat breakfast.

The place was very clean and Stormy at the from desk was very kind and helpful. Free breakfast was ok. The showers are fantastic! Hot water and loads of water pressure. Only issue was getting the room cleaned. Stayed 3 nights and no cleaning service. Had to hand trash and dirty towels to a passing person requesting clean ones. But nice "garden" area to hang out at. Great place for breakfast around the corner.
