"My stay was very nice. The cabin was clean and the bed was decent. There was plenty of room for bags and my dog's bed. The bathroom was nearby and easy to access and I really liked that there was room to walk my dog it was fairly quiet for being so close to a main road. I didn't meet any staff as they had prepared an envelope with instructions. That was okay."

"This is a double property, with the Quality Inn sharing an office and parking with a long stay motel. The office and breakfast area are in a separate building from the accommodations.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. If your looking for fancy, this may not be the place, but for a comfy, quiet stay, come on in."
