Stopped for one night and the motel was exactly what we needed. Clean, peaceful location and onsite free parking right in front of the room which was convenient. Funny smell in the room coming from the cupboards in the kitchenette, couldn't put our finger on it as they weren't dirty (likely just old/musty).
