Comfort near the River

Very friendly, helpful owners who like their guests! Comfortable bed, great heating, good TV-streaming selection, defrosted mini-fridge (!), clean microwave, surprisingly well-supplied/equipped for an older property. Pristine swimming pool with deck chairs, safe parking, quiet, convenient right off the highway, close to Current River activities. Convenient espresso coffee shop onsite.

Keep on traveling

Motel typical of the 1950's to 1970's single level C-shaped motel with 26 rooms. Furniture and room were dated. Shower head hit me in the chest. Definitely made with little people in mind. I travel a lot and this is easily a $60 a night room, definitely not $93 a night. Would not stay again.

Great Place!

This motel was great. This is our second time to stay there and we have enjoyed both time. It is our halfway point to visiting our daughter and her family. It is walking distance to the Current River.

It is a very old motel. The bed was hard, the furnishings were cheap. There is no breakfast. It was way over priced for the value.
