Super nice little spot. We stayed overnight after a concert. Simple, inexpensive, comfortable beds, very clean. The decor is a bit outdated but we don’t care as long as it’s comfy and clean. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

Best sleep ever.

Most sleep I have ever gotten in a motel room. I am used to a waterbed at home, so I always dread motel stays. This bed was so comfortable if I ever get back there, I am going to request the same room and hope they haven't changed anything!
