The staff and team here went out of their way to help us out here! We came to them with some needs that required extra work in their end and they were quick to accommodate and make us feel more than welcome and safe. Super thankful that we booked our stay here!

This was a perfectly adequate 3-night stop for me, and an excellent value. The staff was nice, everything worked, and breakfast was adequate. It's not a spot for a romantic weekend. We often find even very upscale places with only one chair in the room. This was better: a small table with two chairs, and a desk with a third chair. Bed was comfortable, bathroom good. The area outside the motel is pretty stark. Parking lot front and back. No landscaping. Just fine for a place to sleep, but not a place to hang out.
