It is a motel, so it was very convenient because you park right outside your room. It was very clean. I think they allowed pets because when we checked in, they asked if we had one. I would stay here again.

We had a great experience here while visiting a college in town. The room was recently remodeled, it was immaculately clean and it was quiet. The staff was friendly and check in and check out were super quick. They also just (like a week ago!) added EV chargers on property! Really great experience and we will stay there again.
