Great staff and great rooms. Beds are on the firm side and I had to get some extra pillows but overall a great experience. Hot water and great water pressure. Now if you’re expecting a 5 star resort go somewhere else. This is an old school motel. Single level with drive up parking right to the door. Only major downfall is the WiFi is slow and tv channels are finicky and sometimes non operational. But for the price it’s a great deal.
