The friendliness of the staff was outstanding! The breakfast was the BEST I have ever seen...and I've stayed at a lot of motels across the country. They had cooked eggs (not just boiled eggs. Hash browns, Bisquits and gravy. waffles. fresh fruit (not just banana's). Fresh cheese from a local company that was fantastic; both cheddar and Mozzarella. Assorted coffee's. Yogurt. and more.... Plus the rates were lower.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The breakfast was good for a continental breakfast, and the staff who checked me in was courteous, but beyond these two factors, everything else was terrible. The bed was hard as a rock and the pillows were flat as pancakes. The carpet was disgusting, and the tub/shower was dirty. I was very uncomfortable staying here, and I would never recommend it for anyone else.

Cute little place. Clean and the staff was super helpful. It was a little further off the Interstate than I had anticipated but not an issue. I was most surprised by how many good restaurants there were to choose from and all within a few minutes from the motel. I recommend The HonkyTonk for dinner and Bake My Day for breakfast.

Room was clean and comfortable. Shower had plenty of hot water. On previous visits, they had a nice breakfast every morning so I could get hot water for tea and oatmeal, but now the breakfast room is only open on weekends. I like the area the venue is in.

The property is old, but clean. The woman on duty when we checked in was very helpful. She helped us find a restaurant for dinner. It would be nice if the rooms had darkening shades. The light from outside was bright through the curtains. And the air conditioning unit was super loud.
