10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)
I was running late in my travel day. The owner called to see if I was ok and stilled planned on arriving the night of my stay. How utterly refreshing! I was two+hours. She turned on the AC and TV to welcome me “home” for the night. Such a nice touch.
I was on the road for 2 weeks, primarily in motels for that amazing Americana feel. This motel was the best of the bunch! Comfortable and quiet room. Great shower, too.
Thanks KJs! Well done.
