There was nobody at the desk office during our stay (2 nights), no bike was available, the property was very noisy at night. There was NO service. It is not worth the price.

Staff was great and accommodated needs that I had for late check-in. It was motel-comfortable, clean and simple - just what I needed. My 4 legged friend was welcome and we had a good stay. Internet was stable enough that I could do work without interruption.

Booked the romantic room with my partner for valentines day specifically for the heart shaped tub. We were super excited to use it until we turned on the jets and black mold spewed out. We brought our concerns up with staff, as that is not only gross but a health hazard and were brushed off. Overall its a decent place, but staff were hard to locate and the hot tub incident left our skin crawling.
