The room was absolutely lovely to stay in. Me and my significant other were staying here for WE Fest weekend and absolutely loved our time here. When I booked it a year in advance I had some doubts but I was very surprised on how nice it was. Staff were extremely nice. Felt just like staying at home. It was very private and quiet which we loved. Hoping to come back next year and stay here again. 12/10 recommend this wonderful place!

Fantastic owners that double as the staff! They are working on upgrades to modernize old style rooms to today's standards. For us, the road construction, that involves new water lines to the motel, was not a problem, but it was a little tricky finding the entrance. Next time we are in the area, we will return to this motel.

The bed was so soft there was no support. The pillows, which a person usually likes soft were hard. The internet kept cutting out for the tv.
