Good deal if you can handle technology

Contactless checkin had me flummuxed for a bit. The property sends you a code to get your key. It should be fool-proof. But I'm that fool that tests those limits. The lobby had several things that looked like the check in computer, but I need a giant red arrow pointing to the correct one with big white letters saying "This One, Dummy!" Once I found the right key pad it was simple enough to check in and get a physical key. There is no staff on the property. There's a button to push that connects you with someone to help you over the PA or you can call a phone number posted on the lobby wall. From the outside, the property looks like any two story roadside motel from the 60s, but the rooms are renovated, comfortable, and clean. I'm not sure what one does if they have mobility issues. I didn't see an elevator to the second floor, but even if there is, the walkway has chairs and tables for the rooms for a "balcony" hang out. This makes it impossible for a wheel chair on the second floor. The management texts you the room assignment the day of your stay. So if it starts with a 2 you might want to text back or call. Overall, I found this a pleasant stay. It's across the street from "The Library" (a restaurant) that serves a great breakfast!

Check in was easy. Our room was spotless and the bed was comfortable. Highly recommend the full kitchen room if available. Has lots of room and works great if you need a kitchen and full size refrigerator. We loved it. Would definitely stay here again.

I'll start with the cons but I was okay with: Floor stains, no hand soap (there was body soap), hearing people outside my motel, also hearing other rooms from time to time I was okay with these though, others may not. Other wise, every else was good. amenties such as mini fridge, mini microwave, body soap, shampoo, towels, etc.

We were notified about water damage the day before our arrival but the hotel confirmed they could accommodate us. When we arrived , we found one room and its water all over the bed and floor and another with water on the floor. The hotel refunded us for those two rooms which was good, but had they let us know ahead, we would have had time to make other arrangements. We requested a full refund for our

This is a classic case of don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside, this motel looks like an old school motel. But on the inside, it is a modern hotel room. The beds are comfortable in spacious rooms. Roku televisions allow to watch just about anything, or login to your streaming service. And the showers were amazing. Great water pressure with plenty of hot water. Next time I'm staying in the area, this is where I will stay.
