False advertising: No stove/oven. When we settled in we saw a note from mgt saying the stove/oven didn’t work. What?? We wouldn’t have paid that amount, nor stayed there if we had known that upon booking. There weren’t walkable places to eat and we were very disappointed to not be able to prepare the food we brought to cook.

This motel was very pleasant! We were surprised at how much it offered for being in an area with few options for places to stay. It has multiple room options because it has multiple different buildings for it's rooms. It's not cookie cutter. We got one of their dog friendly rooms and it was great. Very well appointed, plenty of room, partially updated. We would definitely stay here again!

Great View, rough sleep.

The room and view was great, however I would recommend getting an upstairs room or a single story room as the noise upstairs kept us up until 12:45am on our first night. It would also be nie if all of the rooms in the building we stayed in had a small table and chairs to use to sit outside and enjhoy the view. There was one table outside and the people in the rooom next to us insisted it was their table and we were not allowed to use it. It would also be ice if there was an ironing board an iron available in the room. All in all our stay was pleasant and we will consider staying again if there is no one above us walking around loudly.
