Great place to stay.
Definitely would stay again. Liked everything about the room but the bed. The mattress was a bit hard for me and I didn’t sleep well but still wouldn’t stop us from staying there again.

A small beautiful motel away from the crowded city. But close enough to be considered Gaylord. The rooms were clean, manager was nice, they had a nice TV and bed plus a fridge. Everything I needed really. I will stay here again for sure. There’s only a few rooms. So not all noisy!! 9/10!
