The hotel is so clean and nice. The owner was such a gentleman and helped us with a few special needs. Also, the room had some very nice little touches that all the chain hotels I stay with usually overlook. You can tell this place is ran by humans who care

When i booked this motel at the last minute due to a unexpected hospital visit i had to make i got a call from the manager who just casually said, you are most welcome to check in early as the room is ready if you would like. I thought this was amazing. Plus the property was absolutely perfect.
