This is a bargain gem. Amenities are basic but scrupulously clean. Staff is courteous and quietly friendly. Newly renovated with non-allergenic laminate flooring and fresh bedding. For the same price as bargain chains, you get cleaner room, plenty of towels and shampoo, and decent coffee. No breakfast on site, but discount at local restaurant.

Cute theme for the motel! The exterior of each room was a different “shop” in an old west town, like Blacksmith, Doctor, etc. It’s built in a U shaped arrangement with a big patio in the middle, like a town square complete with a fountain and tables. Our room looked clean and well kept, but there are two reasons I did not give it a 5. One is because the heater seemed to be all or nothing: either broiling hot air or freezing cold air - that was blowing right on us no matter how I moved the louvers. It couldn’t seem to just produce warm, comfortable air. Secondly, the perfume of their chemical cleaner was overpowering. We aired out the room for quite a while, but even after that we were both back gagging and choking on the smell by the middle of the night and had nasty headaches. We slept terrible. Cleaners do not need to be that strongly perfumed to do their job. Please find a better one. Breakfast was at a local restaurant. Interesting way to handle that. Although not big servings, the food was good. Overall, the motel was a cute place, with friendly staff, but I would not come again due to the overwhelming perfume.

The room was very nice. The gentleman at the desk was very nice. Id say the only problem was there should be a respectful quiet time like after 7pm. Bunch of noisy kids running wild. Not good

Breakfast was great, conveniently located near the hotel. In a restaurant that was awesome, so we could order other items if we wanted. Rooms were spacious, clean, and well decorated. Liked having the microwave, coffee pot, and refrigerator. Will definitely go back.
