Properly marketed and described. No particular amenities (aside from WiFi), but lots was apparently available at the mother ship, in town. But I wasn’t there for amenities, and I expect most guests weren’t. Clean room, easy parking, my dog was welcome. Busy road out front, but set back far night that I never heard any noise from there. Good place, would recommend

Q
This is a charming older motel that is quiet with spacious grounds. There was no check in- they just gave me my room number and my code. I personally loved that. It was during a terrible heat wave and the small AC window unit struggled to cool the room, but eventually did. There didn’t seem to be coffee anywhere on the grounds so I would have loved a coffeemaker in my room.

This is an old motor inn repurposed for the new era. Decor not great, smelled musty, shower head from 1994. No staff on site.

No frills clean and cute spot
I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.

The room was furnished with tag sale furnishings and a “clothes hanging structure “ bolted to the wall with a lamp in the way. Being quite isolated the lack of a coffee machine was mystifying. The cost was commensurate with the quality of the room.
