Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a simple and old location it was clean and beds were ok with fridge and microwave. The price was low 79$compared to other locations 150 during leaf peeping. People who are used to things going their way may not like it. this is not a location for a KAREN type. Location boring unless you plan on Visiting Samuel Clemons grave. The pictures are nicer then reality. Would I stay again sure.

Much of the motel reflected 1950s motor court that hadn't been updated. Curtain mechanisms broken. Most lights and phone were unplugged. Dead bolt on door lock would not work.
