This is an older motel but the current owner-who checked us in-really takes care of it. The beds & linens are great! The floors are carpeted but on the cold side when we stayed in November.

Check in was pleasant with Maria. Due to an unexpected change in plans, she willingly allowed a delay in checkout. Our room was welcoming, spacious and very comfortable beds. Although hotel is an older build, its better than most. We appreciate the welcome during our stay. Thank you
