No thrills. Cozy comfort. Quiet.

Parking was well lit and my space was right outside my door. Area felt safe. Front desk personnel were exceptionally friendly and professional. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Plenty of soap, cups and towels. It is an older building, however, I felt it was well kept up. No bugs. My only comment would be ac had a bit of trouble keeping room cold like I like when I sleep and the bathroom vent fan was super loud. I didn’t take a shower so can’t comment on water pressure, temperature or tub drainage. Amazingly quiet and comfortable accommodations for a very fair price. I’d book a room there again in the future.

I like vintage motels and this was a great one. Spacious room, recliner, comfortable bed, walked across a side street to a Mexican restaurant that had an awesome appetizer and margarita. Liked the small town atmosphere. It was a great experience!

Nice place to stay!

This hotel is nice, clean and quiet. Did not hear any outside or neighboring room noises. Rooms have a full refrigerator but no microwave, which didn't matter to us. I think I read there is a community microwave. Bed was also nice. The Lobby Ladies were amazing, very friendly and helpful with food and grocery locations.

This is a hotel that’s apparently been around for a long time in a rural area. It has very nice large rooms with digital key locks and allows for contactless entry. The room is very clean and the bed was very good condition. A very pleasant stay particularly because I was able to stay within 1 mile of the site I was working at.
