Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and service are rated below average — Guest ratings for rooms and service sit at 6.5, below the overall score of 6.9, suggesting that these aspects may not meet everyone's expectations.
- Small property with limited rooms — With only 15 rooms, the motel may have limited availability, especially during peak travel times, and common areas could feel more intimate.
- No pets allowed — Guests traveling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the policy explicitly prohibits pets on the property.
- Check-in window may be limiting — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:59, so guests arriving later—such as on overnight flights—may need to arrange alternative plans.
