"This ended up being one of my favorite stays from my many road trips. The owner was genuinely welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. I was supposed to receive a check-in link the day of arrival and never got it (turns out it had actually been sent back when I booked in January, so definitely check your old messages), but thankfully the owner helped me through everything in person, showed me how the keypad entry worked, and even gave recommendations for restaurants, things to do nearby, and which convenience store to go to (and which one to avoid 😅).
The room itself was super cute, clean, and cozy. Some people may find it a little small, but personally I loved it and honestly wished I had booked more than one night. It felt thoughtfully set up rather than just a basic roadside motel.
The room included complimentary coffee, tea, and water along with a fridge, microwave, and individually controlled AC. Parking directly in front of the room made unloading after a long drive really easy.
One random detail but worth mentioning: the towels were actually fluffy and high quality, which feels rare at this price point. The walls are a little thin, so you may hear neighboring conversations occasionally, but everyone was respectful during my stay and it never became an issue.
As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable here the entire time. I would absolutely stay here again, even over cheaper options nearby."
"Staff and room was great. Pool was closed for construction, we didn't know that when we booked. The free breakfast was grab and go bags, they were ok, but didn't know that breakfast is only on the weekends. Great stay for my service dog."
"This hotel was old and disgusting! I was grossed out about everything in the room and the hotel. The carpet was filthy and the room smelled moldy. The bathroom sink was stopped up and so was the tub. I will never return at all."
