La chambre la plus propre qu'on ait eu en 3 semaines de séjour. Un grand merci à l'équipe qui prend soin des clients, un motel/hotel typiquement américain. Le bar/café en face est une très bonne option pour le petit déjeuner. Le restaurant barbecue au fond de la rue est plutôt bon aussi. A coté du parc de la ville il y a un bon spot pour observer les étoiles quand le ciel est dégagé. Cette ville et cet endroit sont très apaisants.

The property was clean and parking was right outside your room. The room is pretty bare minimum, no fancy linens or pictures on the walls. BUT, it was super clean, quiet,and the bed was comfortable! AND, it had a fridge, microwave AND I was able to watch Netflix for free!
