Excellent motel. I could not rate 5 star due to the poor internet. My advice for management/owners would be to get a Starlink account. Except for Internet everything was great.

Great choice

Great location, clean and friendly. Only complaint was that we had lots of internet issues — I had planned on working, but got knocked offline constantly. Tried to watch a streaming show and had to reconnect to the internet about every 4-6 minutes. Phones frequently couldn’t find the hotel network. No problem for most travelers probably, but we had counted on having strong WiFi. They said probably the weather, which is certainly out of their control. Loved everything else.
