This motel is an excellent budget option. It is a relatively modern building with clean rooms and amenities that work well. Parking is easy and Uber pick ups and drop offs are also easy. It is surrounded by fast food options and other businesses like a laundry and petrol station.

An incredible motorcycle museum! I found out about the place after seeing it on various tv shows, American Pickers, Chasing Classic Cars, and Jay Leno's Garage, included. Once you get inside, you really don't know how you are going to take it all in. It is huge! All of the motorcycles run and during our visit, the curator was starting and taking random bikes out for a spin. A must see!
