Pleasantly suprised at the great quality of the room! Checkin process was easy, the room was spacious and clean. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the bed was more firm than I like and the blankets were thin. Other than that, it was great! I would stay there again for sure!
Good for a night. Room was clean and had plenty of towels.
Really nice hotel. The rooms were super clean. We called twice and both times our questions were answered well. No problem coming in late. Bath/shower water heater was quick. Bed was firm but not too much. King was huge. It's not the Hilton but in this small town it truly is a gem. Just adorable family who care about their customers. Very well insulated ....will stay here again.
Off main highway so it's quiet. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. 40" flat screen TV. Microwave, fridge and coffee maker in the room. Shower has hot water and pumps for shampoo/conditioner and soap. Shower was clean and new. Was very happy with this place. Our last few stays in hotels/motels has been terrible, so this was a nice upgrade!
The room was really clean and the woman that checked us in was really friendly. She offered towels if needed for the rain on my motorcycle. I definitely recommend this location.
I needed a pet friendly room when I arrived late so they cleaned and made one ready. Small pets are allowed for a $25 fee. My room was clean and spacious (king bed). The furniture is a bit worn but serviceable. It’s not the Ritz but for what it is, it’s a good value for the price.
I wanted to share our stay at this motel. We stayed there almost 2 months due to losing our house from a fire. Our stay was very peaceful and pleasant. Super nice owners that kept everything cleaned and room stocked with everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone looking for a nice convenient place to check this motel out. Tammy
The room is clean and well taken care of. The hotel isn’t what I call “janky” for the price you pay. Super affordable and friendly staff who let me use their iPhone charger :)
