I was pleasantly surprised by this motel. I pulled in late last night hoping for a restful sleep. The staff member was professional and courteous. She got me checked in quickly, gave me my keycard and the wi-fi information and I was good to go. The room was large and comfortable. I made good use of the microwave after my hot shower. Thank you guys for a great stay!

This motel is amazing! From the moment I first walked in, I was made to feel as if I was a cherished family member. They got me checked in quickly, made sure I had the wi-fi information and knew who to call if anything was wrong. I will definitely be staying again as the rooms were huge, clean, and comfortable.
