10/10 Excellent
"This was an awesome hotel one of the best "budget" hotels i've stayed in. A staff was super nice and helpful. Everything's clean the rooms were nice and big with lots of room. There were plenty of things to do in the hotel on a rainy day. The pool area was super nice with a big hot tub, and sauna that were well kept. Location was peaceful and quiet. There was even a fire pit area in the hotel provided s'mores packs which I thought was a nice touch. The morning breakfast was really good as well. Would definitely stay here again"

"The location was great, the price was affordable, and for being an older motel, it was well-maintained and clean with amenities such as a refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave.
