Very friendly and helpful staff. The room and surroundings were immaculate. We appreciated the larger than standard refrigerator and the full size microwave oven was a nice bonus. Both were spotless inside and out. Thank you to everyone at the motel for giving us a "no problem" 4th of July weekend.

The night clerk was very nice. In the morning there was a gruff human at the desk. We were placed at the top of the stairs with a light shining in the window. The blinds could not be arranged to block the light from the fixture outside our door.

I had a one night stay here on a quick trip, but I would definitely stay again. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was a refrigerator with actual top freezer (not like a normal hotel "freezer" inside a tiny refrigerator), a microwave, and a bar style table with stools--all of this would be perfect for a longer stay. There was a small lawn perfect to take my dog out. As a solo woman traveler, I look for properties that are safe and clean, and this one was great.
