We are a family of 4. Door code sent to my phone was a great way for checking in after hours. Parking was a little difficult at night, as a lot of vehicles were already there. AC was great and cold, but a little loud. Although we had neighbors on both sides, we never heard them. Place was convenient as we had family staying in a house near by.

Check in not smooth
The room was updated and cute decor. Had microwave, fridge, coffee maker and toaster oven in the room. Older motel that was clean. It was self Check in and was not very smooth in our case. No one was on property and instructions on how to obtain the code for our room was not very clear. We booked through a third party so did not receive check in instructions. Finally found out what to do from someone that encountered the same situation for check in. When a call was placed to the contact phone number we got a voice mail that a return phone call would be made at their earliest convenience. Not what you want to hear after a long day of travel. After about 10 minutes we received a phone call and was told that someone would be calling us with the code to our room which they did.

Our stay was wonderful! The one complaint that I have is that someone tried to break into our room when we were in it, it was a very scary ordeal. Other than that happening our first night everything was wonderful and our room was so clean and we loved the little seating area in the room too!
