Good location, kind staff and comfortable bed. Would happily stay again.
Unfortunately due to a flight change our stay was short but room was clean, close to a variety of restaurants and had adequate parking. Check in was quick and staff personable and helpful.
This motel was fabulous. We decided to escape the rain and our camper for the night. The room was cheerful and clean. The kitchenette was well stocked and we didn’t need any supplies from our camper. They even gave us a carton of milk for our hot chocolates. Washing laundry was free and the dryer was the standard 4$. We never heard a peep all night. Would definitely recommend this location!
The hotel was clean and well- maintained. There was separate laundry room. Basic kitchen supplies were provided. Close to the shopping area. Plenty of parking. Owner of the hotel was friendly.

The room was clean and the staff very friendly. The room was dated and could definitely use an upgrade. We were right next to the road, so it was a bit noisy.
