10/10 Excellent
"The location was great, the price was affordable, and for being an older motel, it was well-maintained and clean with amenities such as a refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave. The window boxes filled with beautiful flowers outside each room added a homey touch and showed the attention to detail of the caretakers. We would definitely stay here again!"
