This property is old but clean. I think all the motels/hotels in the area are old. It was ok for one night. The best part was the lady who checked us in. She was very pleasant and helpful.

Very well presented. Had all that we needed in a unit. It was immaculate. Very helpful owner and staff. A real highlight was going outside at night, and with a cloudless sky seeing an amazing night sky filled with millions of stars - all as a result of not having any light pollution.
