Basic room - no frills

Very basic room with no extra amenities (like a coffee pot in the room). For the price of a weekend night, I expected just a little more.

Wonderful Motel

Very friendly owner! Very clean! Beds comfy! Simple but perfect! Nice Country setting but not far from stores and restaurants. We will definitely stay again. My daughter is in college there so we need a place to stay when we visit. We are over 4 hours away from the college and need a place to stay.

If you are looking for a place to stay that doesn’t cost a fortune this is it. Everybody seemed really nice. The room was very clean. It is definitely an older property. I will definitely stay here again.

Clean, convenient, and a good value

The motel is fairly basic, but it’s clean and convenient (right off the highway and close to shopping and restaurants). The rooms could use some updating, but it’s a good value at roughly half the price of other hotels in the area.

Good, clean place to stay. It’s dated, but that’s ok. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. Slight musty odor when we walked in. But all in all, a very decent place to stay for a night.

This is a good motel for an overnight stop. It was clean. The entry code to the room was convenient. It's an old building and it looks like they are repairing it little by little. The staff was friendly and have easy check in and out. Personally I don't like carpets in hotel rooms so that caused me some discomfort. Overall good deal.
