Motor lodge with clean rooms

This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

I had to find a room fast (11:00 PM) due to my original hotel lost power. It was out of the way and was farther than Google maps indicated, but it worked for over night. Owners were great!

Good basic motel. It was clean and safe. No ice, food or anything more than WiFi and basic stuff like towels. But for the price it was fine.

Covenant, not luxury.

Our only problem was that the Pillows were flat, but this little place was clean and warm, had hot water and was convenient for our needs.
