The room was pet friendly, and in good repair. We had a comfortable stay/sleep. It was a good value for the $$$. Not a lot of pet options.

Staff was nice and helpful. Room was clean and good for my dog. Parking lot was secure so I felt comfortable leaving kayaks on the roof overnight.

The place looks NOTHING like the pictures. The staff was really nice but the whole property is extremely run down and dirty. The room looks like it has not had an update in >40 years and was overall very dirty/run down

Would go back!
The place has clearly had a major overhaul recently. By far one of the nicest motels of this type we've ever stayed in. Staff were friendly and respectful. Beds were comfortable for everyone, all ages!
