At first glance this place can look a little dated but the bed is amazingly comfortable along with the pillows. The motel is quiet, very close to down town, cute and charming. The staff are all friendly and helpful. And the motel is very convenient to everything you need or want. I felt extremely safe traveling alone here. Should I come back I will definitely be staying here!

It served the purpose of a place to sleep. The area was quiet which was great. Motel is dated but in good condition. The room offers cable tv, coffee maker, dryer and small fridge, shampoo, conditioner and bar soap provided. Bed was too firm for my comfort.

We did not stay at this motel! We went to check-in but once we arrived in the parking lot, and motel lobby, the rooms were nothing like what we expected from looking at the online photos and description. We spoke with the female attendant who called the Owner/Manager and She spoke with me and said she would support a full refund to me but said I would have to go through Expedia. Expecting this response will trigger a refund and if necessary you can contact the motel manager to discuss. Feel free to contact the Motel Manager or myself by phone or you can email me ...I respectfully request a refund to be provided to me; If not, I will never utilize Expedia again and will post many negative comments online. Thank you and appreciate a prompt response.
