Great for local access and beyond
This motel was ever popular with those seeking to make the
most of the area’s attractions. The region’s natural beauty – especially its
array of hiking trails and parks – was a big draw for many, with guests pleased
to find access to the great outdoors so close to an interstate route. Speaking
of, this property was a top choice for those looking for a place to stop

Pleasant rooms

Solid breakfast
As far as continental buffets goes, this motel seemed to offer an impressive range of quality offerings. The waffle option was especially popular.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Older hotel, some dated interior features
Despite the interior refurbishment, some rooms still sport some older, worn fixtures – especially in the bathrooms. Shower handles and faucets were a particular problem, with a number of guests noting that these were on the verge of falling off. Many also felt that the exterior of this property could be updated to a more modern appearance.
negative:
Wi-Fi a frustration
Finally, Wi-Fi access was intermittent here, with many struggling to connect to the network.
negative:
Hot options missed
While guests liked this motel’s expanded continental buffet, some still missed a hot breakfast. The lack of bacon and eggs was a common theme here.
