Liked: Staff & service, amenities
great pool, was so much fun watching the boat traffic go by, nice having a picninc table available. Dated property but that is part of the charm. Going back in two weeks, short walk to town. Parking right outside your room and staff is soooo friendly. Love it
Check-in was easy. Booked on the app. We were on motorcycles and got held up in a thunderstorm. Got there late but our key was waiting for us in the key box by the office door.
The stay was good. It is a 60s motel and just a few outlets. Not one in the bathroom.
Other than that the setting outside watching the boats go by and a great view of the river.
Paid decent amount of money to stay here. place needs major updates. Pool was closed the whole time and they didn’t say anything about that before you reserve the room. “ One of the main” reasons I rented the place for the pool for my kids. That was a big disappointment. Probably won’t be back.
The motel gives off a very retro vibe which is wonderful. The location is fantastic; our riverview room had a patio with two chairs and table with a terrific view of the river. There were several gas grills available for use. Our room was very clean but dated. The door was tricky to operate and the front window was cracked. Our patio door screen had to be removed as it was broken and had not been replaced yet. No matter, our stay was lovely, beds comfortable, room had micro and fridge. I did miss having a hair dryer. Oh well. I would stay again due to location.
