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.
