What I liked the most was how quiet the place is and the outstanding view.
This is a very reasonable priced motel and it is to be expected to have a modest room.
My overall stay there was very pleasant and the management and staff are very friendly.
The location is very nice
Staff seems to keep it fairly clean but everything is old and worn out. Pictures, carpets, front doors, furniture etc
Stains on the carpet
The place is average but the view is special. Average hotel with a reasonable price. It got everything you need for basic need. Staff is excellent . Exceptional customer service & hospitality. Will stay again. Nice place to escape the city.
Hotel room smelled of old smoke. It was sprayed with lysol to mask smell. We had to open all windows and doors as the smell of lysol was strong. Would not stay here again.
