This was by far one of the absolute best motels we’ve stayed at while traveling cross-country! Nope, I lied… it was the best!! A cozy room that was very well maintained with all of the amenities we needed. I’m a big fan of the smaller establishments and the ease of parking directly in front of your door. If you’re looking for a spot to stay I highly recommend you consider resting your head here at the Vindel Motel!
