"This was a perfect get away for our anniversary. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with inviting places to sit outdoors to enjoy the flowers. Our room was clean, quiet & spacious. Staff was pleasant & eager to help with details. Breakfast was basic: pkg. oatmeal, pkg. muffins, yoplait yogurt, juice boxes, & coffee. We would've appreciated a piece of fruit &/or healthier option but you could bring your own favorites to enjoy with coffee outdoors."

10/10 Excellent
"Fixtures and furniture/carpeting had an older style look, but appeared NEW. Nothing was worn, and looked impeccably clean. We had a king bed room and it had a beautiful red velour bed covering and lace trimmed sheets. The carpet was a deep red and felt soft and cushiony under bare feet. The elegance of the whole (very large) room rivaled $300 hotel rooms I've stayed in, and this was under $100. The TV had TONS of channels to watch. A very quiet hotel with many close food options. Serves a complementary continental breakfast."

"Overall we liked our stay. However, on our way home, we noticed a one night, charge, on our credit card account from the motel. The phone call back to the motel resulted in a verbal disagreement as to why this charge occurred. The manager would be available the next day but until then we were upset with this improper charge. The next day the charge was cancelled by a matched credit. Unfortunately this situation, although solved, was a dark stain on our visit."
