Skip it if you can

The AC was off when we arrived, so our room was hot and everything felt sticky. Our shower had a bug and a few hairs in it. It's a decent place, but a motel nonetheless.

We stayed for 6 days. We really enjoyed our stay. I can’t say enough about how amazing this Motel is. Clean, easy check in, staff was fantastic. Friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. Beds were amazing. I usually have a hard time sleeping at new places. The beds were so comfortable. I fell asleep easily every night. And the towels were the softest I have ever used at a Motel. We will definitely stay here when we come back.

Great property with excellent themes in the rooms. Location is great, coffee shop solid and pool was nice. Overall great experience only hiccup was the fact that they charged me for one night for every room in advance even though we had the reserve now pay at property option selected, had to pay the remainder once we arrived, made it complicated when reserving for multiple rooms, had to figure out the payment situation since we were a large group.

The beds are super comfy. The pool area has a cool vibe with games and a fire pit. The chairs are comfy, nice quality, well maintained. The cafe was adorable and super fun for kids and adults! The motel itself has no frills but has a great, relaxing vibe.
