Swell motel provides a relaxing atmosphere to wind down after excursions in the surrounding area.
Pros:

The staff was friendly… The room was clean… The bed was comfortable…The area was quiet… The added sheets to protect your comforter for the dog were greatly appreciated

Cons:

There truly wasn’t anything I didn’t like… I understand the room I was in is to be updated… But I was there to sleep not to have parties so was fine
