A nice no frills perfectly located supper friendly stay.
Pros:

This property is perfectly located. The young lady there was supper friendly. Very understanding when I messed up my reservation. I loved that the ice wasn't out of a machine but rather bags of ice in a chest freezer.

Cons:

If you're looking for frills this is not the place. It is an older property. The shower was tiny and one of the beds was squeaky. There wasn't a remote for the mini split but I didn't ask either.

Comfortable stay in a convenient location.
Pros:

Check in was super easy and staff were very friendly. The motel was very convenient to trails as well as bathhouse row. With the quiet room and the comfortable bed, we both slept great! We enjoyed sitting on the patio as well.

Cons:

The motel is pet friendly, so there was some pet hair on the sofa. The ventilation in the bathroom could be better; the paint in some corners in the bathroom looked mildewy.

This is such a gem, and we will absolutely be back!
Pros:

It was the perfect location! Everything was extremely walkable from it, it allowed us to not have to worry about dealing with crowded street parking, one of the springs was located next door, and trails were accessible directly across the street.

Cons:

The bathrooms were a little small, but that’s expected from a building this age. No major complaints here!

Perfect stay for a family with a dog, perfect location, can’t wait to go back.
Pros:

Location was great and the rooms were huge! We had to book 2 rooms because of our family size and the layout was perfect, we had our own little stairway that only had our rooms so felt very private and not disconnected between us.

Cons:

It was great!
