The people who run this motel are really great and provide excellent service. The on site breakfast was great, considering that this is a small, family run place. There is a nice little area outside to relax in. It’s a basic motel, nothing fancy, but very pleasant and friendly.

A great value.

I enjoyed my stay at this nice family owned hotel, very spacious room with parking right outside my door, and quiet surroundings. Only wished the ice machine was working when I was there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay was great! It was quite unexpected from the outward appearance, but the rooms were perfectly clean and actually pretty large for a motel room. The price was perfect and location was very close to the main road of town so you could just walk to all of the little shops they had on Main Street. I would definitely recommend this place and would gladly stay again!

This is an older, more retro and funky motel. It was like stepping back in time. It was clean and the staff was nice. I would stay there again, especially for the price.
