We were really pleasantly surprised by our stay here! The room was really charming — it felt like staying at Grandma’s house. The bedding was super comfortable and everything was very clean. Would stay here again without hesitation.

If your looking for room service or spa treatments this is not the place. But if you want an affordable, clean, safe, nostalgic place, this is it,. After talking to the owner she really cares about the area her motel and more important her guests.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The room was spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. There’s a charming market and several restaurants just a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

Anything but swanky, but a very acceptable bargain

This is an old (and I do mean OLD) motel (motor inn?) I booked it by mistake. The on-site manager was very friendly and quickly remedied the problem we had with the TV in our room. Actually, she moved us to a different room, as the Internet connection in the room we were originally in was too weak. The room was very clean and the price was FAR below what others are in the area. With that being said, and I find myself amazed that I am saying this, I’d book it again if I was in the area. I usually stay in much swankier hotels, but with a clean room, a door that locked, and a good mattress……this was quite a bargain.
