"Very nice motel. Bed was awesome. Two other senior couples in our group thought bed was very good too. Motel is old and it shows as pool and hot tub were drained and buildings are in need of repair. but comfort of room was great. Breakfast was advertised as continental but had much more than just pastries. Staff was very pleasant. Would definitely stay again."
