Taking a 3-day class at the local community college and didn't want to commute from home. Stayed here. Nice folks. The room I had even had a parking garage attached. I believe all of the units did. It was the least expensive and everything went smooth the entire 3 days.

Wonderful, clean & comfortable classic motel

This place is a gem, a vintage midcentury motel that's been well-maintained and also features modern conveniences. I try to patronize locally & independently owned classic motels and this place was everything I could have hoped for: clean, comfortable and spacious. Fridge, microwave, flatscreen TV, wifi...it was all good. Fabulous roomy tiled shower. Plush towels and crisp linen. I would definitely stay here again.
Spacious and comfortable room
Exterior sign--glad I had made a reservation!
