Nice view, good design for room, so close gas station, staff was friendly .
The people who run this motel are really great and provide excellent service. The on site breakfast was great, considering that this is a small, family run place. There is a nice little area outside to relax in. It’s a basic motel, nothing fancy, but very pleasant and friendly.

With a little TLC cleanup outside, and a few updates in room (ie, rattling A/C, carpet) this could be restored to a nice property.

The rooms were clean, a little noisy but tolorable, toilet is not very accommodating for adults. Otherwise considering it sufficed for what we needed.
The owner was so friendly and has the desire to make your stay great! He truly cares about his place! He is making upgrades and repairs as he can ands I feel he is doing a great job!!
Sufficient for one quick night stay. It’s a basic older place but met our needs. Breakfast was sufficient.

A great value.
I enjoyed my stay at this nice family owned hotel, very spacious room with parking right outside my door, and quiet surroundings.
Only wished the ice machine was working when I was there.
