8.4 Very Good Based on 617 reviews
Editor's Pick

"This family-run motel features a heated pool and hot tub open until 11pm. Guests gather at the central BBQ pits and fire pit, or relax on wooden benches outside each door. Made for families, and not for travelers needing responsive evening assistance."
