Very easy to check in. The bed was comfortable. It had way more then what we needed for our stay. It had a fridge, micorwave and stove and cookware. For the price it was well worth it. We will remember this place when we want to come back again.

Cute motel

Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

Great stay! I even left behind a few personal items and they called me to come back for my belongings. Most places just throw your stuff out! The staff were polite and friendly too. :)

Typical motel so don’t expect the Ritz! We booked here because of the reviews. The beds, pillows, and bedding are super comfortable. Unlike some places, housekeeping does wash and replace the bedspreads after each customer as we witnessed it. The rooms are big. We had two dinette tables and comes with fullly equipped kitchen. The pool area is nice and it’s clean! There is an extra $10 fee for extra guests. My daughter was supposed to stay with us on the last evening but ended up staying with friends. My only issue is when I went down to the office to have it removed, the lady on day shift (6/7) told me to come back when I check out on 6/9 but we knew it was going to be a busy morning and wanted to take care of it prior to check out. I waited in line for 15 mins and she ended up helping the next customer behind me, she seemed a little . The next day I went to see Len and he took care of the refund in just one minute. I was pleased with his friendliness and customer service.

The motel was great for what it was. You know you aren't paying for a 4 Star hotel, so you can't expect that level. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, there was a pool and plenty of parking. That was all I needed and expected!

We only spent one night as we were in town for a wedding. Our room was very neat and clean. The decor was beachy cute. The staff was excellent. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk. Clothing items were left in the room after check out and the front desk called us and held the items. Overall great experience! Wish we had more time to spend there and hope to return again.
