The room was clean and spacious. This property is undergoing (much needed) renovations. Pool is not available due to remodeling, drive way very rough and needs replacing, room did not have coffee facilities, it was available in the office in the mornings. Water from the shower ran out to the bathroom, it was an accessible shower which I appreciated but not safe to walk on when wet. Very nice owners wish them the best in the future.

The property is being remolded so the parking lot is a mess and the pool is unavailable which would have been nice to know ahead of time. Construction crew arrives before 7am even on the weekends so it's very noisy. Got a nail in my tire on the 2nd day from the construction - ugh. Might be nice when it's all done but not a good stay in the meantime.

Not sure how the ratings on this motel come to 8.4... It was thoroughly average. OK for the price but definitely not what I expected with a rating that high

The room was relatively clean however the floors are buckling and uneven and chipped throughout. The pillows are odd little shaped things that are not too great for sleeping. The parking lot is dug up (it has been this way for many months according to other reviews). Two large carts of dirty linens were outside the door of a room near us ...all day and night. The rate was quite high for what was provided. There is an additional $25 room fee which made no sense. Would never stay here again given the price and the condition (the photos are deceiving)

I would have given 5 stars, but there is construction going on outside (they're working to improve). The staff was very friendly and I found the room clean and nice. I would stay there again.
