This is an older motel but the updated beds and TV make it very comfortable. If you just want a nice clean motel and don't need all the fancy frills this is your motel. Always stay here when coming through.

We LOVED our stay here! Only complaint is that we got there late and had to leave early. The shower was nice and hot, the bed was all big and comfy, everything was spotless. The staff was also super friendly! We were a little late to breakfast so we missed the biscuits but they smelled amazing!

If you are looking for a comfortable room that is CLEAN, you can’t beat this place. We’ve stayed several times now during trips across the state. They are always very polite & welcoming. As an added bonus, it’s super affordable.
