An older motel, but maintained with loving care. We always try to avoid the big chains and stay at the family owned motels, and this one was perfect, The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

A must visit hotel

The decor was a little dated but that actually added to the charm. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The owners make you feel like you are family when you arrive. I’m looking forward to my next stay.

Cute little inn

It was a nice old time inn. The room was spacious, TV had a lot of channels, there was a grass patch to take the dog out. The bathroom was a bit outdated but shower was hot and had good water pressure. Very good value for money.
