Staff was friendly. Coffee was very good. I happen to like oatmeal, but if you don’t you would be out of luck that day.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast offering was very good, many choices and ample amounts. For a small independent motel it was way better than many of the chains! Would definitely stay there again.
Due to no control of motel, new highway construction out front made it a bit of a squeeze and new construction next door also added to noise. Staff was most excellent, very friendly and accommodating. Older motel yet served our needs.

Rooms are clean,friendly staff and super hot water to shower.
It was much better than I expected for a 2-star level motel. More amenities than most accommodations in that price range. Good choice of breakfast items. My room looked quite updated.
Older property but the rooms for the price were clean and comfortable.

Front desk gentleman was very friendly and helpful.
The facility was in very rough condition--from the parking lot to our room. It was a clean room but I can't say I would stay again.
The front office staff was super nice and helpful. The room was older, but clean. The location allowed us to walk the downtown and visit their shops. There was casinos too, if that's your gambit.
