The owner was very welcoming to his motel. Eager to fill us in on all of the free state parks in the area. We felt very safe and comfortable. The breakfast was as good as most major hotels. Right in the parking lot was a good restaurant that he also owned.

Nice place

The rooms were very nice inside, the outside looks like a simple motel. There apparently was a boil order but they never told us guests until next morning and only because I came in to office. Friends made coffee with tap water…. I would suggest some hooks in the bathroom.

The owner was very nice. We had made a reservation for a room type that was being renovated and he gave us two adjoining rings instead since it was not busy. Good breakfast and friendly service. He provided recommendations for things to do and see. I would definitely go there again if I'm in the area.
