    Needed updating. Shower head needed to be larger. Floor in the bathroom needed updating. The beds was a little hard.

    Clean and quiet. It had a bible and a travel guide. A clean swimming pool. Had rocking chairs and a gazebo for a sitting area.

    These are things I noticed. Honestly, there wasn't really anything to dislike. The room had very few unused outlets. Keep that in mind if you need to charge anything. You might want to bring a fan if you need the noise. The room was small. Parking can be a bit tight for larger trucks.

    This a cute motel. Very charming. The room was very clean. Spotless. Old hardwood floors. Window unit AC. Reminds you of being at Grandma's house. The bed was super comfy. Safe location. Loved the rocking chairs outside the door. Don't the the window AC fool you...it will chill you to the bone. If you are looking to unplug, this is the place. Wi-Fi is non existent and cell service is hit and miss. Not the businesses fault, though. There is a very small swimming pool for the kids. It looked to be very clean also. I would love to return in the fall.

    The place needs to be updated. Wiring, beds, pool. When you would plug into the outlet it smell like something was on fire.

    The rooms were very clean. And location was great.

    There was a huge bright security light outside the bedroom. Light kept me AWAKE!! The curtains in room were so thin the light just went thru. This needs to be corrected.

    Location, no frills ok for the price. Good amenities: refrigerator, microwave and nice big color tv. Friendly and helpful hostess. They offered coffee in lobby but we were glad we brought our own coffee pot.

    The heat in the rooms makes it almost unbearable at night. Time to sleep. There’s no fan in the room and the heat is old-school out of the wall and it’s either on or off and for that reason alone we would not stay there again I didn’t have a good nights sleep, it was unbearable at night time we even tried bringing our own blanket so that we could not use the heat as much at night and that wasn’t a good substitution either

    it was very clean. The location was nice, and the staff was very friendly.
