You can tell the owners take pride in their hotel. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone. The hotel and rooms were perfectly clean, the beds were soft and comfortable, and for anyone looking to charge their EV, there is a Tesla Supercharger right down the road.

We usually stay in “name brand” motels, but thought we’d take a chance since the ratings were so good. The ratings were high because this place is wonderful. Extremely clean, very welcoming owner. Excellent stay.

Clean and comfortable. Great staff. Quiet. Wonderfully remodeled. No breakfast (I don't like standing in line to pick through the messes that others have made). Good restaurants near by. Highly recommend.
