My husband and I with our 2 corgis stayed here. It’s an older motel but is a great place to stay. Room was clean, staff was nice, parking right in front of room. There is a restaurant on site that has good food and reasonable prices so you don’t have to wonder far if you don’t want to. The best part of all they are pet friendly. Any place that allows you to stay with your whole family gets my vote!
