Our room was clean and had all the needed amenities. Hot shower, better than average towels and maid service without having to request it. But best of all was the kindness of the owner/manager who helped us out when we had a family emergency.

We were there for just one night. The owner checked us in and was very helpful. And easy walked to great food places. Our only issue was the noise from washers right next door to our room.

A lot of bang for your buck

A lot of bang for your buck. It's not going to knock your socks off but for a budget motel it stands clear above the rest. Quality provided items in bathroom and was very clean. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The location is great, the room was huge and super clean, the office staff was really nice and easy to work with (we weren't arriving until after the office closed for the day and they left our key for us so we could still check-in). Parking was convenient - right outside your room, and the motel was quiet.
