Stayed here for two nights over New Year’s Eve. This is an older style motel that sits right on a busy road. The walls are somewhat thin as you do hear road noise and your neighbors. Highly recommend staying on a top floor on the backside of the motel. Obviously the pool is not heated so I did not use it but it is a super cute area and would probably be very refreshing in the summer months. You are close enough for a healthy walk over the “bridge of lions” into historic downtown or conveniently rent one of the bicycles from the motel. The motel is in a very walkable area to restaurants and bars. Would recommend staying here for an inexpensive option close to the historic downtown area.

I would like to let management know that we were very disappointed in our stay. The bed didn’t have a blanket on it or a blanket in the room. It was around 40 degrees on 12/31/25. The heater didn’t go on and off to regulate the temperature in the room. It was either on or off. We slept with our sweatshirts over our pj's. The air purifier showed the filter needed to be changed. The towels should have been replaced a long time ago. I took pictures to show how worn and frayed they were. I've donated better looking/ feeling towels to our local animal shelter. The coffee machine downstairs didn’t work. My husband went to get coffee this morning. Another guest came in and said the coffee machine didn't work the day before. He contacted management and was told it would be taken care of by the next day, which would have been today. I sent a text this morning about all of this and received a generic AI generated response. I have never written a bad review but for $300 a night, I expected better. I understand it was NYE, however, the pictures on the website are NOT what you get.

This motel was extremely dirty, as shown in the pictures I included. One of the towels was stained, there was a small stain on the sheets, and we also found a few hairs on the bed. The floor was dirty—I walked barefoot for just a few minutes and my feet were black afterward. It felt like any cheap motel, just decorated in a cuter way. The check-in system was very quick and easy, which was a plus. We were only here for a few hours during a road trip, but if you’re planning to stay longer, I wouldn’t recommend it.
