The Heliotrope was a great small motel. Pretty close to the center of town. Not really walking distance, but a bike would be perfect. Friendly staff. Close to RR tracks but they provide earplugs. I didn't even hear the train but, my partner did. All and all a really nice spot at a good price.

Nicely outfitted rooms, central lawn area, pleasant lounge area, gracious staff. Nice that it dog friendly. Challenge: mattresses soft on edges so usable surface smaller than size; dog space outside smaller than expected, long narrow run.
