up against neighbors parking lot. the only truck there over night parks as close to the motel as possible. the bushes are overgrown and there is no room to get to your room. i broke my bike mirror squeezing through. if they trim the bushes way back it will be fine

Es un hotel que está en proceso de renovación, por fuera se ve no muy bien, pero las habitaciones y la limpieza que encuentras adentro es impresionante. En mi próximo viaje lo volvería a reservar sin lugar a dudas

The room was clean, looked good and was spacious. The door howevr was glass and had some kind of bamboo cover that did not cover anything and people could see straight inside if we had the lights on. The main entrance is under construction so we had to walk through gravel to get in which was okaybut someone who needs a flat ground would struggle. Check in experience was easy and staff was pleasant and helpful.
