Stayed here a few weeks back when the weather wasn't horrible. I enjoyed my stay here. Firstly, this place has some amazing scenic view rooms. There is a really nice pond right behind this inn, best place to hangout during the afternoon, or early in the morning to see birds and stuff. Just next to it there is a Vet hospital if people with pets needed it. And a little further down the road there is an amazing hot dog place, I forgot the name of it. And there is a bar and grille place which was nice. Coming to the customer service and hospitality, best crew. Receptionist was kind, humble lady. Takes really good care over the phone. Repairmen are quick to come to the door, if needed. Manager will be available, if needed. Over all 5/5. I will definitely recommend it.

Air conditioning was excellent. Fridge was largest I've ever seen and it was cold and freezer worked. You may need your own blanket in winter. I just don't touch to bed cover blanket so it's just a sheet. I was clean and owner and manager cared and were helpful and friendly. I'de have no problem with an extended stay here.

Got this room for my daughter while she's visiting for a few weeks. It's ok didn't see any bed bugs and she hasn't complained yet. Parking lot rather small and crowded but for couple hundred bucks it's serving it's purpose. They do have WiFi which is a plus. Bigger mini fridge, micro, nice size TV, and king bed. Although it's a hotel, could be a long term stay if necessary.

This motel is a hidden gem! My stay here has been a lifesaver! I feel very safe, it is well lit all around the property, not one light out! The property is clean and well taken care of by Shawn and Margo, they live on site and are available at all times. They are very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and large, with full size refrigerators and new floors. You can stay one night or as an extended stay, either way, you won’t be disappointed!

I stayed here on Valentine's Day 2018 and I was very happy with my stay. I booked the whirlpool suite and everything worked great. There was plenty of hot water all night and the next morning. The room was very clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful , they went above and beyond. My only complaint was that there were not enough towels in the room, but that's not a big deal. I assumed they were trying to be eco-conscious. All in all, it was a great price for such a nice room! I recommend staying in one of the nice luxury suites.
