We were really pleasantly surprised by our stay here! The room was really charming — it felt like staying at Grandma’s house. The bedding was super comfortable and everything was very clean. Would stay here again without hesitation.

If your looking for room service or spa treatments this is not the place. But if you want an affordable, clean, safe, nostalgic place, this is it,. After talking to the owner she really cares about the area her motel and more important her guests.

This is an older ground level, attached buildings no frills hotel. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced clean room with no bells and whistles with good space for 1 night or more this is perfect.
The inn keeper Janice is very pleasant and always willing to help.
