I recently had the pleasure of staying here and I had a great time. The rooms are huge with good sized tvs, laminate flooring, and queen sized beds. It is obvious that they really care about their customers. The room has all the necessities, including a shower, a microwave, and a mini fridge. There is even a little area where you could set up a coffee maker if you travel with one as I do. It was a great stay at a great price. I will be back!

This motel is amazing! From the moment I first walked in, I was made to feel as if I was a cherished family member. They got me checked in quickly, made sure I had the wi-fi information and knew who to call if anything was wrong. I will definitely be staying again as the rooms were huge, clean, and comfortable.
