Very happy! Rooms were clean, air conditioners worked great, very safe parking lot and rooms (though no safe available) and service in the room was excellent! The bed cover may have had stains but we put that to the side and everything was super clean and location was close enough to all we wanted. No frills but amazing value!!!

It's an older motel. The furniture is outdated and beat up. It's a decent place enough if you are just sleeping there. The area was decent and it's closeness to the national park is great.
