I typically don’t write reviews as I travel frequently. I am in this case as I want you to know that this is a great place to stay if you are looking for lower-priced/budget friendly accommodations. The room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

A charming, old school motel that anyone who has spent vacations going on road trips will appreciate for its charm and the memories of road trips past it conjures up. Comfy with all of the typical amenities we are used to, with that unique touch that is absent when staying at a corporate chain motel.
