Rocker Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very comfortable. There was plenty of parking for our truck and RV. The Inn is very pet friendly with dishes if you forget yours and even treats for the dogs upon check-in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location to the freeway was so convenient but not noisy at all. It’s a little gem of a motel, nothing fancy but we highly recommend it. "
