Very Good

We really love this spot, it’s in a perfect place for a good price. They take such good care of the property, and it has everything you need. Even a fire pit and a little dog park. The surrounding area is amazing and there’s so much to do. Don’t forget the Botanical Gardens.
The staff here is lovely and the owner is really kind 💛. We will be back.
Good room at a good price! Clean and comfortable and VERY convenient to the local sites. Breakfast was minimal, but good coffee.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The man at the front desk was rude, my room was missing hand soap and the shampoo was leaking, there was a hair on the back of the toilet. Definitely was not happy with this stay. The first time I stayed here is was great but this time was not.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Property and area are beautiful.
Beds were not comfortable in room 174.
Seemed like the staff packs every one in towards the back when there’s almost no one in the front area of the motel. We had a neighbor that had people come in and out all night long so didn’t sleep well.
I think if they would’ve just spread people out a little bit more than it would’ve been a better stay.
Stayed in better and worse places. Location is convenient you can walk around to a great restaurant for breakfast or lunch at David’s and harvest market is next-door for anything else you need.
Breakfast is a joke! Cold cereal, apples, bananas, coffee. We elected to out for breakfast. The room was very clean, TV ok. Bed was comfortable. The card access locks failed two times during our one-night stay. No one informed us that the heat in the room was controlled with the access card. We stayed at the same motel many times in the 1970's. But not again
