This motel is the perfect home away from home. The owner/front desk clerk was very friendly. The room was clean, comfortable and included extra touches such as dishes and blankets that shows the guest needs in mind. The room had air conditioning and an extra fan for comfort. Breakfast had many choices and was fresh and delicious. We were very impressed with our stay. Highly. Recommend.

Exceeded expectations. I honestly booked this last minute and there were few options and my expectations were low. The staff was great, the room was clean and quiet and everything worked. AC worked well. The hotel is older no doubt but it's kept up and I will definitely stay again. Had a free continental breakfast which was just that a continental breakfast, muffins, yogurt, toast, cereal, juice and coffee. Nothing fancy but most places like this have nothing. Other people staying seemed friendly in conversation as well. Overall a great place to stay.
