A simple but comfortable old school motel. Front desk was incredibly friendly, bed comfy, room clean and had all we needed. Nothing super fancy, but room was quiet enough at night for a good night sleep. It's nice that this type of motel is still around when chains seem to be taking over everywhere.

Parking was adequate, but spaces are narrow. Staff at checkin and checkout were great. Even gave me what I needed to clean bugs of my windshield. Furnishings we're functional but a little old. Thermostat wouldn't properly set the temperature, though temperature was acceptable.
