Room was clean. Bathroom shower was nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Was fairly quiet at night. Liked the plants/landscaping around the property. Water pressure in our room could have been better. Overall enjoyed our stay.

The indoor pool was good. However, the family suite is next to the fairgrounds and airport is nearby which made it hard for me to get good sleep at night. Too noisy to stay the night and get good rest at this motel, I do not recommend.

Good surprise!

For a motel, this place is great!! We love the warm pool! It’s clean and covered on three sides. Our room is clean and has all the basics, even a good size refrigerator and a microwave.

Clean rooms, comfy beds and friendly staff at price that was cheaper than the rest in the area. Nothing fancy and a little airport noise but nothing to worry about.

Stayed here for two nights and had a pleasant experience. I checked in late, but the process was quick and smooth with no issues at all. I appreciated that the motel called to confirm my arrival, after 9PM which was a thoughtful touch. The one-bedroom room was small but cozy, with all the essentials such as a mini fridge, microwave, TV, small coffee maker, comfy bed, air conditioning, and a sofa chair. A few minor issues I had was that the AC was a bit loud, the microwave plate wasn’t rotating (I tried to fix it but couldn’t), and the water pressure was on the low side. Still, nothing too bothersome. The heated indoor pool was a great bonus, especially after a long day. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m in the area!
