While the construction around the property may warn people off, don't be fooled. Very clean rooms, real mini-frig w/freezer, plenty of parking, anything you'd need in room and friendly staff.

Room clean, temp stayed warm, friendly staff. Wasn't sure where to go to check in as they have front of motel being rebuilt and fencing put up. Office is not near the back rows of rooms. Not their fault, though.

We had such a lovely stay at the Bluebird Motel. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully kept, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
