I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and excellent condition of the property. I appreciated the details that can be overlooked like the nice landscaping and the fresh paint on the buildings. Not what you imagine when you hear the word "motel".

Changed my mind!

Clean, neat, and comfortable. Changed my mind in the way I thought of motel. Rooms were up to date. Love the retro design. Good food around the motel location. Great pricing! I'd stay here again.
