The room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was recently updated and beautiful. There were menus in our room but restaurant was not open. It's still off season and was a short drive to places to have breakfast. Loved the view and it was quiet. Would return again.

The room was clean and maintained with a comfortable bed. Front deskdesk staff were helpful and courteous. It was expensive for what we got after a couple weeks of travelling and having breakfast included it was a surprise that breakfast wasn’t included, and the room itself was quite a bit higher than what we had been paying.

Quite an old motel but there are renovations happening. Room very plain with a nice view, comfortable bed and a renovated bathroom. We paid $216.00 for 1 night but it’s probably only worth $150.00 max. Probably would not stay here again if in the area.

Room seemed clean but the carpet was questionable-we didn’t take our shoes off. The hotel exterior is quite run down but there has been some effort to refresh the room and bathroom. In-room coffee but sour creamers in the fridge. This motel is just ok but is over priced.
