This was my second week long stay at this motel. Both times have been phenomenal and I intend to continue using this motel for the remainder of my visits for school. Everything is super clean and the staff is fantastic. Only complaint I have is the wifi. Network speeds are fine, but the connection gets very spotty towards the back of the room, where the desk and bed are. This isn't ideal since I'm down here for school, but I was able to manage just fine. It's not necessary, but it would be nice to see range extenders, or additional routers added to have more consistent network connections throughout the rooms

We stayed here last minute after leaving our original hotel booking due to the poor conditions. The staff at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean. We enjoyed finishing up our Mother Earth beers at the porch swings! We will come back with our kids and get in a game of putt putt!

We were highly satisfied with our stay! We were in town for a softball tournament and if we are ever in the area in the future this will be our goto place for lodging! The design of the rooms took me back to my childhood! The pool/activity area is amazing and wish we would've had time to enjoy it!
