A Wonderful Budget Hotel

Budge hotel wise, it’s hard to beat this hotel. Clean, decent sized room and comfortable beds. Convenient and safe location. Little things like pieces of chocolates on your nightstand show how they care for you. I would give this place a 5 star. But since it is lumped with other hotels, for a basic budget hotel, a 4 star is quite remarkable.

I have been to many motels in the past but this one was one of the best motels that I have stayed in. Very clean and up to date furnishings. It was a great overnight experience. ONE critique that I have is that they did not have an iron or ironing board in our room. Overall great place to stay.

If you're looking for a wonderful and clean place to stay, Northland Motel is for you! There's no bells and whistles (pool or gym area), but there is an amazing bowling alley literally attached to the motel! The room was cute, very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. I could recommend them anymore. We'll definitely be staying again!! Thank you for a wonderful time!
