Nice Place To Stay
Very quaint, clean and comfortable place to stay. I particularly liked the lobby area. It had a warm, friendly feel to it due to it's rustic decor and the seats/couches were quite comfortable. Highly recommend this motel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room had an extremely strong chemical smell, and I asked for a different room. The desk clerk sprayed my room with glade and said "There". When I asked again for a different room, the hotel attempted to charge me an extra $40. When I asked them to cancel my reservation, they stated that since I had checked in they could not cancel. I went to another hotel!

Did not care for having to wait five minutes when we arrived at the property before we could check in. Before we left, we discovered a leak in the bathroom on the floor. And no donuts lol we have stayed with you before and really do love the property
