Best hotel and mattress's of the trip. Loved this place and will be back! Apparently it was recently bought by a couple from north Carolina They recently remodeled it which doesn’t fully reflect in the ratings yet since the old managements ratings are still pulling them dock a little.

We left an item at the hotel, but didn’t discovered we’d left it until we arrived at our next destination. We called the hotel and they had found the item. The arranged to have it mailed to our final destination. They went way above and beyond in helping us, can’t say enough good about the staff.

The beds were comfortable, the room spacious and clean. Older motel with limited amenities but completely adequate for our needs. We stayed on a sunday night and the town had very few dining options.

Great place!

Stayed one night while passing through town and it was perfect. It's clearly been updated and renovated and seemed very clean. Service was great at check-in and we also got some dinner suggestions and a cookie! Would definitely stay here again next time we pass through town

Very friendly service at the front desk. We brought our dog with us and they provided treats for our pup. They had a good sized pet area too. Felt safe and great recommendation to try the restaurant across the street. Would recommend.
