We really love this spot, it’s in a perfect place for a good price. They take such good care of the property, and it has everything you need. Even a fire pit and a little dog park. The surrounding area is amazing and there’s so much to do. Don’t forget the Botanical Gardens. The staff here is lovely and the owner is really kind 💛. We will be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room and the bathroom had a terrible odor. The cheap carpet squares were stained and barely glued to the floor. The whole place looked run down and not well maintained. I wouldn’t want my dog to sleep in that room. We ended up leaving and cutting our weekend short. We drove nearly four hours home just to avoid having to stay there.

Emillio

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Property and area are beautiful. Beds were not comfortable in room 174. Seemed like the staff packs every one in towards the back when there’s almost no one in the front area of the motel. We had a neighbor that had people come in and out all night long so didn’t sleep well. I think if they would’ve just spread people out a little bit more than it would’ve been a better stay. Stayed in better and worse places. Location is convenient you can walk around to a great restaurant for breakfast or lunch at David’s and harvest market is next-door for anything else you need.
