I was pleasantly surprised by this motel while pass through. The room was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable, and the quality bedding was a nice touch. It’s a simple, no-frills stay, but everything felt well cared for and thoughtfully maintained. Staff at the front desk were very pleasent. The location is great for anyone exploring the area. If you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable place to rest before a day of adventure, this motel is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be staying here again!
