Nice hotel from back in the day. Clean and provided amenities that I needed such as microwave and refrigerator. No fluff, but I appreciate the cleanliness and the way the manager handled my check-in and check out.

You checked in at a walk up window. The room had an intense fragrance. It was overpowering. The road noise was loud. The next day my clothes all still smelled off that awful room!

The bed was VERY comfortable. The room was in need of a good cleaning...dust all over back of door (I wiped the doors, counters and sink off before using). Very easy to find, but there is nothing close by...we were starving and it was a 20 min or so trip back the way we came to find something to eat. All rooms were nonsmoking which was nice, but smoking was allowed outside right in fron of the room so you could smell smoke. For the room I felt I overpaid.

Cute little motel. Most motels are pretty sketchy, but this was a cute little building that my wife and I loved. I took off one star from the clean writing because the first night there was dog hair or something on our comforter on the bed and on the first layer of sheets under that but once we notified them they took care of it immediately.

Quiet, Quaint, Clean & Comfortable!

We stay here every year and sometimes twice a year and we love it! It’s always a great experience. Although it is a small, no frills roadside motel, that is just fine, it’s quiet, quaint, clean, comfortable, very reasonably priced and the owners and staff are always very nice and accommodating! It fit us perfect and we enjoy our stay every time! Highly recommended!
