Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On the bright side, they allowed my three small dogs to stay with me, and there was a lovely creek behind the motel that made for a nice view. Plus, it's conveniently located within walking distance to the town center. However, the room itself was quite disappointing. It had issues like a missing microwave knob, rust, and significant wear and tear. It also smelled of cigarettes, despite being advertised as non-smoking. Overall, I felt the price was far too high for the value received.
My stay here was quite disappointing. While the location along the river was beautiful, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the rooms was alarming. The breakfast was minimal, and the service left much to be desired. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place, especially for the price.
