"The rooms were quiet and nicely appointed."

We had a very nice stay. The staff was friendly and very good at their jobs. I particularly liked the efforts to reduce waste and make the motel more green. I also noticed many amenities like a firepit, lots of activities, the pool, a tasty breakfast and many other things that make stays nice for people of all ages.
