Overall, my stay was a mixed experience. The motel offered a very affordable option compared to others in the area, and I appreciated the cleanliness and the convenient amenities like the fridge and microwave in the room. However, the WiFi was incredibly frustrating, and the lack of outlets was a big downside. While I enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and social atmosphere, the room's size, particularly the tiny bathroom, left much to be desired.

This motel offers a cozy atmosphere with great outdoor spaces and a fun fire pit for socializing. The rooms are generally clean, but some may need improvement in comfort and soundproofing. It’s a good choice for a budget-friendly getaway, especially for groups. However, the Wi-Fi is unreliable, and the limited electrical outlets can be a hassle.

This motel offers a nostalgic charm with clean accommodations and a welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor spaces, including the fire pit and backyard, provide a nice touch for relaxation. However, while the bed was decent, some might find the pool a bit chilly and the noise from upstairs could be bothersome during the night.

I had a wonderful stay at this motel with its charming outdoor spaces and cozy atmosphere. My room was clean and well-kept, but I did have some noise issues at night. The outdoor fire pit was a fun spot to unwind, and the free morning donuts were a delightful surprise. While I really enjoyed my time, I would recommend bringing earplugs due to the thin walls and occasional evening chatter.

I had a fantastic stay at Grant Hills Motel during our girl's weekend! The atmosphere is nostalgic and relaxing, with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, making for a great value. However, I wish we had more time to fully utilize the fire pit and other amenities.
