Read moreWe stumbled upon this motel online, read the reviews, and decided to give it a shot! The front office woman was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I requested a late check-out, and she didn’t hesitate to approve it. While most check-outs are at 11 am, and late check-outs are usually at 12 pm, she was exceptionally accommodating and extended our check-out time to 1 pm.
The hospitality at this motel was truly exceptional. The parking was also very convenient, right in front of our room. Now, let’s move on to the room itself. Although it was small, it was perfect for two people. It had a king-size bed that was comfortable and well-firm, and the blankets were warm and cozy.

So after the concert I went back and seen if I could get a refund. She said no cause she couldn't get anybody up to clean it. I explained to her about just using the bathroom and making sure the bed was clean and she was rude. Please take note that this is a family run business and that the kids who are under 10 are cleaning the rooms! I wouldnt stay here again. I would sleep in...
