Good location, close to gas stations, restaurants, grocery store. Single level, so no one is above you. Beds were not comfortable, squeaky with movements, including just a sneeze. Room comes with a microwave and mini fridge. No free.breakfast
The property owner and management were very friendly and accommodating, gave great suggestions for activities even helped me out with some tools to fix our seat. The motel has a great location near food and activities. We would definitely stay here again.
It was clean no smell, the only thing was the pillows were a bit hard, we got there at 1:45pm the manager was nice and let us check in early. Overall it was a nice stay..
