This was a great place to land for the evening while on a road trip. There is a train and well traveled road out front, but a white noice machine was provided as well as ear plugs. We slept great and found the environment very peaceful. It is conveniently located to grocery/convenience stores but tucked back away from the main road of town, which was nice. It was noticeably clean and had thoughtful amenities. Would stay again!

Everything was perfect. Since I am short, I wish there had been a chair to sit on to put on my shoes. The stools and bed are too high for me. The decor is exceptional and the room was spotless. Even though the motel is near a highway and railroad track it was pretty quiet. I would love to stay there again.

What a breath of fresh air! Clear instructions, kind staff support and a beautifully updated and clean accommodation! It was so great with all of the fine details and touches - coffee cups to ear plugs. It’s by the train tracks, but that doesn’t take away from the fabulousness. Thank you Amy and team!

The room was exeptionally clean and was stocked with absolutely everything we needed. The jet bathtub was gigantic! My husband and I both soaked in it comfortably. Tons of hot water and excellent water pressure. You wont find a better deal for the price. Even though there is road noise, there was even ear plugs provided. This is definitely our new go to spot to get away.
