Helpful staff, slow toilet that needed a plunger. Probably biggest issue was not realizing until we arrived that our motel was RIGHT on the main road through town, with our room door opening up to that street/road’s sidewalk, so traffic noise was an issue. But it was nice having two good restaurants literally right across that street.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The property is a bit unusual in that some of the rooms have sliding glass doors as the outside wall. It was a bit disconcerting and not as quiet as a regular wall might be at keeping out outside noise. However, the staff were all exceptionally nice and they clearly pay attention to small details around the property and in the rooms.
