Loved that we could bring our dog. Hotel requires you to bring a dog bed, because dogs aren't allowed on the beds. Room was spotless. Easy parking. The only thing I didn't like was the noise from the turkey plant. But my dog didn't mind, so I'm good. Will definitely stay again.

The room was absolutely lovely to stay in. Me and my significant other were staying here for WE Fest weekend and absolutely loved our time here. When I booked it a year in advance I had some doubts but I was very surprised on how nice it was. Staff were extremely nice. Felt just like staying at home. It was very private and quiet which we loved. Hoping to come back next year and stay here again. 12/10 recommend this wonderful place!

Lovely motel. Quiet. Relaxing. All the amenities of home. As coming with heavy rolling cooler, requested parking outside my door. With in minutes of submitting my request, hotel responded, accommodating my request. When arrived was offered assistance with my cooler. Hospitality extraordinaire! Highly recommend.
