This is a perfect little place to stay in Frankemuth. It's a modest hotel, but is clean, has updates and the room was spacious. It's close to everything we were here to see, so that was a plus. We'd definitely stay here again.

The room was very clean and comfortable. You can tell that it was updated more recently. The outside of the motel could use some updating but the stay was great. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the stay.
