This is an older motel, so it comes with the same problems as all aged motels have. Staff was very pleasant. The room was clean. The bed was quite comfortable. The breakfast selections are what you expect. The pool area is good. We didn’t use it this stay, but have previously. It is next door to great bar and grill with wonderful food. Diary Queen is locates across the parking lot. Two food location’s within walking distance.

Everything in the room was dirty and stained. Two of the lamps didn't work. Sheets on the bed were decolored and stains on the blankets. The WIFI was so slow it barely worked and the AC unit was load and sounded like it was breaking. It is a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for but I would never go back. Not a good place to stay for any price.

I stay here every other weekend about with my kids the staff is great nobody really bothers you and have a swimming pool The only downfall at all if there is one is sometimes the high speed internet lags and my son trying to Play PlayStation online gets upset because he can't Play his game online besides that is great

Property was on the older side, but maintained to a point. It was a good spot to stay for a quick overnight with dog.
