From the greeting of our host to picking up our ice packs that they had kept frozen for us when we left----this was the perfect place to stay, I can't say enough for the cleanliness of this motel. It has been lovingly cared for and is like new. Every need had been anticipated. It was quiet with lovely grounds. We will remember this place and stay there when we're in the area.
From the first view to the first visit everything was exactly as promised . The rooms were extremely clean as were the grounds and buildings. The fire pit is a great place to hang out and watch the stars. The pool area is immaculate and well stocked. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back again.
The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Room was very clean for an older motel which was a plesant surprise! We will definitely be coming back on future visits.
We loved staying here - very friendly and helpful manager, and the rooms were very clean. If ever we are in this area again we would stay here for sure!
