The other cohabitants were questionable. We were stuck between two large families, all of whom ranged from 8 months old to 24 yr old young people. That took away from the quietness we were looking for.

Not a family friendly place

I picked this place due to the reasonable reviews given on this website. But I am surprised at the high ratings it has received After experiencing this motel. But I will tell you that the biggest problem with this Motel is that they offer long-term rental . I think this attracts transient people. I found that there was small groups of men but I believe a few were drug users. This made me considerably uncomfortable and I decided not to even stay at the motel. I could not imagine if I was a woman staying here. The front desk clerk was friendly and accommodating though so the service was not that bad. The room appeared to be clean I did not trust the mattresses. The management of the motel needs to rethink its long-term rental Arrangements and the clientele it attracts. I would not stay at this Motel ever again until it cleans up its Act.
