Absolutely wonderful
Pros:

Location is awesome. We have stayed there before and re-booked because we enjoyed our stay there so much. We have 2 dogs and they were as welcome there as much as the humans. The hosts and staff were wonderfully accommodating and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this motel to anyone.

Cons:

Nothing
