Have stayed here many years ago (Oct.1998), we just drive straight to this establishment. The motel is now run by Chanel and her husband who took over the business four years ago.

We checked two other motels close by and this won out. Comfortable and close to pools with really friendly customer service, Room was already heated when we arrived and Front desk pointed out restaurants on guifde map. More
