Definitely would recommend your motel
Great motel staff was great all the surroundings were great quiet didn’t quite like the idea of having to pay for parking when you have a big parking lot that was empty and I think most people feel that way might be something you need to look into. Thank you, Mr. John.

Cost to park
Our day was good. I had a good time. Place seem to be pretty good. Breakfast was not up to quality in power. Whoever does the breakfast stuff very unpleasant and food was cold not very pleased with it. Also is the parking fee to stay out of motel and never had to pay that before $15 a night plus tax the parking a free parking lot at a hotel get real.

Overall it was nice
The rooms were clean and bed was very comfortable. The lady at the front desk in the afternoon was not friendly at all, nor sympathetic to my situation. And hotels.com nor the hotel informed me that parking was an extra charge. It was a long walk to the main strip. The food could have been better, the potatoes were ice cold, bacon was under cooked and eggs watery. But it was a very busy weekend.

Perfect
We enjoyed the convenience of the location. Walked from the hotel to the main sites. The hotel is clean and modern. We took our dog with us, and there was never a problem with getting her in and out of the property.
Very reasonable rates. Definitely would stay here again!

Getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The room is spacious and clean. The view from the balcony was not the same as the photos. A pine tree in the entrance of the hotel needs to go, you can not see to pull out onto the road. Staff was very nice.

Beautiful patio
Beautiful location. Comfortable. Great seating in the back patio with seating by the creek and fireplace/tables. Clean and close enough to walk to the downtown if you dont mind a bit of a walk. City has a trolley service but we chose to walk instead.

Very modern and comfortable rooms. Love the hardwood floor look in the room. Easy walk to Main Street or the trolley can pick you up just down from the hotel.
