The gentleman at check in was welcoming, friendly. He put a smile on our face. Banana, apple, and a cookie were nice touch. The room was clean. Nice fluffy towels. The only downside is that the bathroom is tiny and tight. Would however stay here again if we visit the area again.

Staff was friendly and the area was about what you'd expect in a small town on the highway. The AC was one of those types that would turn on loudly and turn off to quiet. Decent little picnic area for being outdoors. Not much that you could walk to.

A Wonderful Stay

I had a great experience during my stay here. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality of the owner—He was incredibly generous and welcoming from day one. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and pleasant place to stay!

A cute motel. The staff was wonderful and the basket with fruit and cookies was a nice touch. Nice outdoor sitting area despite being a small property. Bathroom was a bit small, but they even had toothbrushes and toothpaste packets along with the typical toiletries. We enjoyed our stay because of these special touches.
