It was a nice, motel for a weekend volleyball tournament. Don't equate the cheap prices with a cheap motel, because this isn't. Would recommend to others & would definitely stay here again.

The stay was good. We got locked out of our hotel room at 315 when we went to the gas station. Apparently something with the electrical was wrong with the key card thing on the door. They did accommodate by moving our room but all our stuff was locked in there til the morning

Fine, not great
We had a great time. We had an issue with our keys, but they straightened it up pretty quickly. The breakfast was adequate, the beds were reasonably comfortable, no major complaints. We would stay here again... it wouldn't necessarily be our first choice, but it was fine.

Very impressive
I remember this hotel from 40 yrs ago! They did a great upgrade to make it charming and more up to date. I love the tile walls in the bath tub, the "wipe your paws" rugs at the pet friendly rooms and the little pillow with a dog on it. It made us feel welcomed and not feeling like we were given the worst room because we had a pet. The outdoor sitting areas were quaint and inviting. Only 2 negatives were the sirens (being close to a fire station I think) and the continental breakfast was behind the service desk.
