It was very quiet even though it was right off the highway. It was an older motel/hotel but it was in good condition and very inviting.

It was ok, but I had to wake up the attendant to get coffee at 7 am. They advertised an outdoor pool, but it was closed with the winter tarp on it, despite being mid-to-late June. When I booked the room, there was no notice that the pool was closed.

The room was disgustingly filthy. The floor had not been cleaned. The bathroom tub was filthy. Paint was peeling off the door. There was no rod in the closet to hang anything (or hangers). There was no cord for the phone.

Although the facility was under reconstruction, the overall service and cleanliness of the room were great. It was also very reasonably priced.

Desk person extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Loved the no carpeted floors ! Saw a cockroach but came prepared with a can of Raid ! We sprayed a few places and got the restful sleep we desperately needed ! Something that looked like a blood smear on shower curtain !

Nice staff, but bugs

The staff is absolutely wonderful! The three roaches I killed and the two I missed, not so much. The mattress was not comfortable for me at all, but everybody is different about what kind of mattress they like. The accessible room is adequate for me to get around in and the tub has good grab rails for me. Horizontal and vertical, so bonus points there. All grab rails on the wall for the toilet and tub were very sturdy. No shower chair is available, so make sure you have arrangements for that.
